    Hi Dmitri,

    I have tried to create additional partitions using ldp as instructed in the
    CHM and it seems to work. However, the DN listed for my new partition in the
    tree view on the left hand side of ldp is never the name I gave it. It
    always seems to display the GUID for the new partition as a child of the
    CN=Partitions container.

    For example
    CN=70c9843a-de56-486c-9998-c265b73720bc,CN=Partitions,CN=Configuration,CN={6
    FFAF5BB-CC9B-4250-80AC-9D8CFD262B7E}

    If I look at the new partitions attributes, my name is listed as the
    displayName and nCName. This behavior seems odd and I am not sure if it is
    working correctly or if this is a bug.

    Regards
    Allen Jones
