I am working with a client who has a SharePoint Server 2010 farm, build level is pre-SP1. They have had User Profile Sync running against two Active Directory Domains for quite some time.
What we are seeing is that the Container (Active Directory OU’s) settings are changing within the Synchronization Connection for a domain to selections we know no one selected. It would seem that SharePoint is having trouble keeping track of the Containers we have selected, and losing the settings we input.
Has anyone else seen this behavior?
The infrastructure team is making minor changes to Active Directory, which includes adding and removing OU’s. Is SharePoint getting lost due to these type of changes?
Yes – I have seen this occur several times, although I just wrote it off to a fluke. But today I checked and sure enough has happened again apparently after changes were made in our AD OU structure. We are on SP2010 SP2 with MS13-067 patches. It looks like if I have selected a sub-OU within a container then any new sub OU’s within that container are getting selected automatically.
Any idea’s what is happening or how to make it stop changing??
I think that changing the OU’s might mess SharePoint up a bit. Â I never heard of it before though!Â
