How do I add a container object to active directory?

[Lucy]

I tried to create the following entry in my active
directory sever using command ldifde, but it didn't work.
Can someone please help me? Thanks a lot.


dn: cn=groups,dc=yourcom,dc=com
changetype: add
objectclass: top
objectclass: container
cn: groups

Are you trying to do a organizational Unit ? then this would be the right
entry.

dn: ou=groups,dc=yourcom,dc=com
changetype: add
objectclass: top
objectclass: organizationalUnit
ou: groups

As Matjaz reminded me about, just change the ShowInAdvancedViewOnly
attribute to False and you can see them without changing to Advanced View in
the MMC.
