Understanding Base DN
The Base DN field is where you can specify the distinguished name (DN) of a
subset of the Active Directory hierarchy (a domain, subset of domains, or
organizational unit) to which you want to restrict the Polycom DMA system.
It acts like a filter.
The diagram below illustrates how choosing different Base DN values affects
which parts of a forest are included in the directory integration.
The Base DN field defaults to All Domains (which is equivalent to specifying
an empty base DN in a query). Initially, the only other option is to enter a
custom DN value. The first time you tell the system to connect to the Active
Directory server, leave Base DN set to All Domains.
