| Yesterday evening I was asked by a colleague to join a support call with Microsoft and a customer to discuss some issues he was having in the customer's environment. My colleague is performing an NDS to Active Directory migration using Quest's NDS Migrator. One of the issues he encountered was that an OU he had created and migrated some user accounts into had 'disappeared'. I qualify the word 'disappeared' because, while his OU had disappeared, it had been replaced in ADUC with an object of type 'Unknown'. Prior to this transition from a perfectly healthy OU to an object of unknown type, my colleague claims the OU's icon in ADUC acquired a yellow warning triangle. I had to say, I'd never come across an OU in ADUC that included a yellow warning triangle as part of its icon, so couldn't offer him any explanation, but wondered if anyone else had witnessed this phenomenon? I did wonder if he'd working too many hours and was confusing ADUC with GPMC, but he claims not! _________________________________________________________________ Win New York holidays with Kellogg’s & Live Search http://clk.atdmt.com/UKM/go/107571440/direct/01/

| Did the Migrator tool simply change the permissions on the OU so that your friend no longer had read access?
Not sure about the Yellow triangle bit :/

| Neil,
No, the permissions were not changed. The OU is pre-created and the objects selected in NDS Migrator are just created in the OU. NDS Migrator doesn't touch OU permissions in Active Directory. I was more intrigued with the yellow triangle bit, but the more I think about it, the more I'm inclined to think he was looking at GPMC.

| | That sounds more plausible, but it might be that he's looking with some
other tools as well. Too many ifs. You may want to look over his shoulder
and see what he sees.
Hard to imagine the type changed on him, but with migration tools you can't
be too careful.

I don't know of any type with a triangle in it. If the permissions are horked it will be one of those non-descript folder icons and the type will be listed as Unknown.
The quickest way to work out what is happening is to type
adfind -gcb -f ou=ouname
If it is there and you have permission to it, it will come up.

There are only two classes that have a supported "transmogrification" cabability and those are user and inetorgperson so you can switch between them.

Thanks to all who replied to this.
I think I have enough ammunition to taunt him mercilessly for next few days about phantom yellow triangles!
I should have mentioned in the original post that my colleague only managed to take a screenshot of the OU after its object type turned into 'Unknown'...he then deleted it. I'll see if he has time to search the Deleted Objects folder to see what objectClass this mystery object is.
