Why are you creating a "container" and not an OU?  You cannot apply any
GPO's to a container, only an OU.

Hi Neil,

Thanks for your help...I hand't allowed the dc to make schema
changes...after playing with the schmmgmt.msc I found where to enable schema
updates...then voila...it started to play ball.... just at the point when we
realised that we probably didn't want containers after all...

I have some more questions for you...back in a minute....

thanks, Brianos :o)

To amend the schema, you normally have to be running as a user that is in
schema admins, and have enabled the schema as writable on that DC using the
schema.

I just created one on a test domain, and it showed up fine in ADU&C - I did
give it a display name, when I created it, though, and I do have advanced
features turned on in ADU&C.

Personally, I wouldn't alter the schema for this - you shouldn't need to,
and should be most cautious when you do it. You are made to deliberately
change the operations master (for the schema) when you modify it, and that's
for a reason (speaking as somebody who's done numerous schema amendments).
