does renaming an OU, update Adaxes?

If you use the Adaxes admin tool to rename an OU, does that also update the corresponding OU information that is referenced in any policies that you have in the Adaxes Administration console. Minus and powershell/vb scripts - I assume those wouldn't updated.

Hello,

If you use the Adaxes admin tool to rename an OU, does that also update the corresponding OU information that is referenced in any policies that you have in the Adaxes Administration console.

When you rename an Organizational Unit or container, its name will be automatically updated in Activity Scopes, actions and conditions.

Minus and powershell/vb scripts - I assume those wouldn't updated.

Yes, you are right. If you explicitly specify the distinguished name (DN) of an OU or container in a script, it won't be updated automatically after renaming. You will need to update the scripts manually.
