SUMMARY
When you replicate containers from Exchange Server to the Active Directory or from the Active Directory to Exchange Server with the Active Directory Connector (ADC), you may select export containers that contain subcontainers. This article describes how the ADC replicates a container that contains subcontainers.
MORE INFORMATION
When the ADC replicates a container that contains subcontainers, the ADC creates subcontainers in the import container to match the hierarchy of the export container.
For example, in an Exchange Server organization with the following hierarchy
+ MyOrg
+ MySite
+ Recipients
+ VIP
+ DLs
+ Misc
if you set up a connection agreement between the "cn=Recipients,ou=MySite,o=MyOrg" container to the "cn=Users,DC=MyDC" container on the Active Directory, the ADC creates the following containers:
+ DC=MyDC
+ cn=Users
+ cn=VIP
+ cn=DLs
+ cn=Misc
NOTE: The ADC only creates a subcontainer if there are objects under that container to replicate. If the subcontainer is empty, the ADC does not create the subcontainer in the import container.
