    Make sure the service account you are using to populate the container must have Replicate Directory Changes Permissions in the Active Directory. Then you should be able to see what are the selected OU's from the container.

    Thanks & Regards,

    You could according to Sharath's suggestion to check Replicate Directory Changes Permissions in the Active Directory.

    In the synchronization connection settings, you should configure connection settings with correct forest name, authentication provider type, account name, password and port.
