Invoke-QuickStart : Cannot find container specified

Question

Hi Folks, 
I am almost done setting up my FIM password reset tool, but I am stuck on almost final step,which is "QuickStart tool" synch with AD. PS command that I use looks like this:
Invoke-QuickStart –Container “OU=test,OU=City,OU=Users,OU=Workstations,OU=branch Office,DC=Domain,DC=Net” –DatabaseName FIMpassword –DatabaseServer Server2 –ForefrontIdentityManagerServiceBaseAddress http://localhost:5725 -Forest Forest.Net –ActiveDirectoryManagementAgentCredential Domain\SA_USR –ForefrontIdentityManagerManagementAgentCredential Domain\SA_FIM_USR –RunInitialLoad $true –verbose
And I get following error:
VERBOSE: Verifying the forest and account
VERBOSE: Verifying the container
Invoke-QuickStart : Cannot find container 'OU=ARJS test,OU=Kaunas,OU=Users,OU=Workstations,OU=COWI Lithuania,DC=COWI,DC
=Net'.
At line:1 char:18
+ Invoke-QuickStart <<<< -Container "OU=test,OU=City,OU=Users,OU=Workstations,OU=branch Office,DC=Domain,DC=Net"
-DatabaseName FIMpassword -DatabaseServer Server2 -ForefrontIdentityManagerServiceBaseAddress http://localhost:5725 -
Forest Forest.net -ActiveDirectoryManagementAgentCredential Domain\SA_USR -ForefrontIdentityManagerManagementAgentCre
dential Domain\SA_FIM_USR -RunInitialLoad $true -verbose
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (:) [Invoke-QuickStart], PSArgumentException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : Invoke-QuickStart,Microsoft.IdentityManagement.QuickStart.InvokeQuickStart
Can anyone help me with that? If you need any additional info, please let me know.

Hi. It seems that you have wrong container address. Please verify if you have: "OU=ARJS test,OU=Kaunas,OU=Users,OU=Workstations,OU=branch Office,DC=Domain,DC=Net" Please remember that it would be something like: Domain.Net ->Branch Office -->Workstations
--->Users ... so you have specified that "ARJS test" is inside OU Kaunas, which is inside OU=Users, which is inside Workstations etc. Make sure all of them are OUs and not CNs (Org Units not Containters) If you wanted to specify more than one OU/CN at once
- it is not possible using script. You have to specify only one container/OU now and later change it inside agent.
