    We knew that <grin> but that is not what you asked.

    Sometimes it's better to tell us what you really want, rather
    than describe exactly where you are stuck trying to achieve
    that real goal.

    Glad you figured it out -- to summarize:

    OUs are NOT security principles -- they cannot be used to
    grant access (or deny it) directly.

    Users, Computers, and especially GROUPS are "security
    principles" -- you use them to grant and deny access to
    resources or to grant rights.
