I didn't have a link, I was just asking if you'd
checked. There is very little about what it's there for that I see so
far. This link indicates it's to be used by developers, but not a lot of
detailed information beyond that http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url="">
If your application has nothing to do with an OU, then does
it matter where you put it? I can see if you didn't want to incur the
replication overhead, that it would make sense to put it in a different
partition. But I can't see why you wouldn't use an OU to at least house
the data you want to store to give it some organization. Ether way, maybe
somebody from Microsoft will chime in with a really definitive link and let us
know what the heck it's intended for vs. what it can be used
for.....

an MSDN page that talks about the Program Data container? If you have, let me
know (I couldn't find anything, even a Google search didn't
help). Technically, yes, you
can put data anywhere in Active Directory. But each of those partitions and
containers are there to serve some purpose (otherwise you wouldn't need a config
partition, schema partition, domain parttion and a place for LostAndFound, NTDS
Quotas...etc in domain partiton - technically you could put everything under one
single node in there). And why would I want to
create an OU structure for an application, if the application hasn't got
anything to do with it? And how does it relate to the existence of a "Program
Data" container? I just wanted to know what goes in
there. From: Mulnick,
Al [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Technically, you can
put data anywhere you want in Active Directory. However, is there any
reason you wouldn't create your own OU structure for an application?
Have you checked MSDN
for information on the program data container to see what uses it?
From: Alice
Joseph [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] What is the purpose of "Program
Data" container in the domain naming context of Active Directory? Is it a
general purpose container where I can store any type of data or is it meant for
specific purpose? Thanks Alice
