New users need to be added to publication but instead of adding them to the publication can the AD OU structure be used?
or
Some changes need to be made in source AD, OU's need to be moved and new OU's need to be created, will this affect QCS?
When publication was created it was populated with containers, not with single objects.
If you populated a publication with a container and if you now create underneath this container new containers then QCS will pick up users from newly added containers and will publish them.
Example:
when QCS was configured only one container (OU) named ROOT was selected.
Now AD admin went and created underneath ROOT two more additional OU's named CHILD1 and CHILD2.
As end result QCS will synchronize all objects from ROOT, from CHILD1 and from CHILD2.
To ensure QCS recognized added containers one can do this:
Edit the publication, in window where objects are being selected on right side click Add Containers, select and add the OU once more, if you get a popup which says "No new container were added" this means that QCS already discovered and recognized the newly created OU's and it will process the objects from those sub-OU's. This step is not necessary, but can be used to verify the configuration.
