Can Not See Configuration container in ADSI Edit

-
This one drove me crazy. Many help articles start with  " start adsiedit and browse to CN=Configuration CN=Services ....." . I could not see CN=Configuration to save my life.
After hours of hair pulling I found this article Thanks David

Solution

The default naming context of ADSIEdit may not show the Configuration container. You can, however, specify it manualy. Select Action -> Connect to... In the "Connection Point" frame, choose "Select a well known Naming Context". Choose "Configuration" from the drop-down box. Hit OK, and the Configuration container, and its sub-containers such as CN=Services and CN=Sites, will be visible.
Alternatively, you can choose "Select or type a Distinguished Name or Naming Context" and type the address of the Configuration container in the following format:
CN=Configuration,DC=yourdomain,DC=com
(e.g. CN=Configuration,DC=kineticcomputer,DC=com)

How to Write a Letter Requesting Sponsorship

-
Write the letter in proper format. Start with the title of the person you are addressing, the address, and date. Begin with a description of the company (if it's a corporate letter) or state who you are (if it's for personal sponsorship) For example, So and So firm is a nonprofit organization committed to rehabilitation... whatever. State the event and the purpose in lucid terms. "We are holding a ---- event on ----- for raising money/making a video/whatever the reason." Request sponsorship by saying "We would be grateful if you helped in sponsoring our event...". Try to give a plan, for example do you want a banner? An announcement? If it's a banner or the sort you could quote sizes and prices. This makes it easier for companies to select a sponsorship plan instead of trying to figure out what exactly you want and how much. Give details. For example, how many people are attending? Who will be the Chief Guest/guests, whether your event will be ...
