Put AD into ListObject mode by setting the 3rd char of dsHeuristics to 1.
Remove ListContents from DivisionX.
Add ListObject to DivisionX
Add ListObject to Users
Don't add ListObject to Admins.

This should hide Admins but not Users. Note in order to see an object in LO
mode, you need LO on both parent and the object itself.

Examine default ACEs in the subtree for any unneeded LC. Note that explicit
ACEs come before inherited ones
