These probably come under the heading of group-like objects with different 
attributes.

Been there, done that out of curiosity, won't do it again ;-)

On a semi-related note is there any way to omit the top-level stem ou but 
deploy everything below it? Is it just a case of filtering it out?
The reason being that I'm using the -configManager method at the moment to 
provision each stem individually to 
ou=<stem>,ou=grouper,dc=authorise,dc=ed,dc=ac,dc=uk.

This results in e.g. ou=org,ou=org,ou=grouper,dc=authorise,dc=ed,dc=ac,dc=uk.

Not a huge issue, just slightly untidy duplication.

Kind regards,

Mark
