# Objects are not created in the expected container.

This can happen if you are using a createobject message and the WhereToBind value in your message or overrides does not match the EqualToValue in your <Target> tag. Check that these both contain a reference to the correct container.

For example, to create an object in the Users container of test.com these should be:

WhereToBind=”LDAP://CN=Users,DC=test,DC=com”

and

<Target PropertyName=”distinguishedName” EqualToValue=”CN=Users,DC=test,DC=com“>
