Managing Active Directory Accounts
To use pre-existing accounts in Active Directory directory service, you must configure the search container and search scope of Active Directory data sources correctly. Configuring the search container and search scope correctly enables the Profiles Schema Manager to find the pre-existing accounts for directory operations such as object creation and object retrieval. At the start of every search operation, the Profiles Schema Manager determines the starting container for the search operation and whether it should perform a one-level search or a sub-tree search.
