Problem
Cannot select an upper level OU without all sub OUs being automatically checked. Also, cannot uncheck a lower level OU without unchecking the OU right above it.
So in the case of:
OU1
OU2
OU3
If you want to import users from OU2 but not OU3 you cannot check OU2 without OU3 also being checked automatically. Unchecking OU3 also automatically unchecks OU2.
Note: if there was an OU4 then unchecking it would uncheck OU3 but not OU2.
Environment
This issue only appears in ServiceDesk 7.1 sp2.
Solution
This issue is addressed in Workflow 7.1 SP2 MP2, Workflow 7.5 and newer (and the ServiceDesk versions based on these).
As a workaround, use LDAP user query:
- Open the ServiceDesk ProcessManager.
- Go to Admin > Active Directory > Sync Profiles.
- Click the action icon for the profile you want to use and click Edit AD Sync Profile.
- Click Next.
- Select the Specify LDAP Queries radio button.
- Click the LDAP Query List User button.
- The default entry will be in the form “LDAP://server.domain.com/OU=<OU to import,DC=domain,DC=com” modify this with the specific OU ‘and any/all parent OU’s’.
For example LDAP://ADserver.com/OU=baseOU,OU=parentOU,OU=nextparentOU,DC=domain,DC=com.
Note: Replace ADserver with the ADserver FQDN, baseOU with the OU you want to import users from, remove or add parent OU's from base to top and change domain to your domain.
