How do I find out containing OU in results of “Find Users, Contacts, and Groups"?

After a search, how do I get to know in which OU (Organizational Unit) a given result is?

From the menu select "Edit"->"Choose Columns"->"Distinguished Name"

• Right-click the user, and select Properties.
• Click the "Object" tab.
• The OU path is shown in the "Canonical Name of object" field.

*Note: For the Object tab to be visible, you will need to activate the Advanced Feature view via the main MMC menu:

From the user properties window, you'll have tabs that says Object.

In Canonical name of object:

You'll see the complete path showing the OU of that user.

I hope that helps.
