Active Directory Navigation – How to Navigate to an Active Directory Object in the Domain Tree

active-directory

In the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in in MMC I can find groups or users fairly simply and view their details. But how can I navigate to that object in the domain tree?

I haven't found any ways to navigate directly from search results or an object, but I also don't see any information relating to "parent" OUs in the displayed object.

Is there a way to navigate to the object in the tree in this snap-in? Or is the only way to run a dsquery command to retrieve the full including all OUs, then drill down manually?

Enable Advanced Features to view object details like the CN of an object which is the "OU-path" you can follow to find it in domain tree:

Information like this can be found in the ribbon Object.

As far as I know there is no "one-klick" feature to jump to the position in the domain tree.
