Prevent users to check names from other OU's
We have multiple users in different OU's. Now when a users edits permissions on his local machine he's able to see the users from the other ou's.
Is there a way to prevent the users from checking these names. The user must stil be able to check names from his own OU.
Any suggestion is welcome

Yep. Please google "List Object Mode". It is a little-known Active Directory feature that was designed specifically for hosters. It does exactly what you are asking about.

Hi Remco8888 ,
Thanks for posting here.
According you mentioned , i think you are going to disallow users who not included in this OU to see or list object of this OU .
If I misunderstand that ,please let me know.
Base on my knowledge , this can be achieved with set OU security permission ,here is an workaround for you reference:
I assume OU’s name is “people” and “Hide”
1.
Create a Security Group called “VISIBLE”(can be any name) and make all the users of “people” OU member of this Group(this can be done by selecting all
the users under the “people” OU and right click “Add to a Group”)
2.
Right click on “Hide” OU go to properties->Security->Advanced and click on add. Add the “VISIBLE” Group and click ok it will open up the "permission
entry” box. Make sure “apply onto” is been selected to “ This object and all child objects”. Check the box of “Deny” for “List Contents” and say “ok”
3.
Login as one of the user account of “people” OU and see if we can see the users of “Hide” OU.
Thanks.

Thanks for your reply. I've tested your solution and indeed it seems to do the trick.
Maybe it's handy for some user to say that this actions have to be done in ADSI Edit.
