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)
