How-To create a referall object in Active Directory

[Hari Vetsa]

All

I have a need to create a referral object in Active directory. the task
is quite simple for openLDAP with the following LDIF
---------------------
dn: ou=referral,dc=company,dc=com
objectClass: top
objectClass: referral
ref: ldap://another.server.com/ou=people,dc=company,dc=com
---------------------------

How ever I am having difficulty creating a referral (crossRef) object
in MS AD. I played around GUI options of Actie Users and Computers,
ADSI and also gave a variations of LDIF syntaxes against MSAD server.

any help is greatly appreciated.

Probably good to list what things you did with LDIF and what the errors were
when you tried to import. ADUC certainly won't allow you to add crossrefs
because they are defined in the config and ADUC doesn't manipulate the config.
