I am having a hard time getting any information from this list about the 
default OU's used when running the net ads join command.

After mapping to the wrong OU in Active Directory for a Samba Domain 
Member Server (ou=wrong_container,dc=server,dc=com) I cannot change this 
back to the default (cn=users,dc=server,dc=com).  Any help is 
appreciated and here is the result of net ads dn command:

This is the contianer I would like to have used:
jason at doc-odin:~> sudo net ads dn CN=Users,DC=scl,DC=utah,DC=edu

And here is the results of the same command on the container in which I 
mapped on accident following the Samba-Official-HowTo Chapter 6 Section II:

If you compare the two you can see that there is a gPLink attribute on 
the container I DONT want to use vs. the other.  Any assistance is 
appreciated.
