Finding the Organizational Unit Distinguished Name
When you register your Active Directory domain with AppStream 2.0, you must provide an organizational unit (OU) distinguished name. Create an OU for this purpose. The default Computers container is not an OU and cannot be used by AppStream 2.0. The following procedure shows how to obtain this name.
Note
The distinguished name must start with OU= or
it cannot be used for computer objects.
Before you complete this procedure, you'll need to do the following first:
-
Obtain access to a computer or an EC2 instance that is joined to your domain.
-
Install the Active Directory User and Computers MMC snap-in. For more information, see Installing or Removing Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 7
in the Microsoft documentation. -
Log in as a domain user with appropriate permissions to read the OU security properties.
To find the distinguished name of an OU
-
Open Active Directory Users and Computers in your domain or on your domain controller.
-
Under View, ensure that Advanced Features is enabled.
-
In the left navigation pane, select the first OU to use for AppStream 2.0 streaming instance computer objects, open the context (right-click) menu, and then choose Properties.
-
Choose Attribute Editor.
-
Under Attributes, for distinguishedName, choose View.

For Value, select the distinguished name, open the context menu, and then choose Copy.
