Hi Michael - apologies for missing this.

I would just recommend something that says you can use the base DN and search 
from there, e.g. dc=domain, dc=com rather than needing to go down to an 
individual container or group.

For us in particular, we're currently using OTRS in-house and all of our users 
are dotted around different containers, with our IT team in a specific one so 
it was much easier to use the base for testing and then move the admins to use 
their own container.

My main point though is it would have been nice to know that I could just use 
the base from the start of my testing :)

Thanks for the help and great product.

Hi Tony,

Can you suggest an improvement for the text itself? I'd be more than happy to 
incorporate it in the docs.

((enjoy))
