• Although Active Directory is not case sensitive for elements such as the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) path, XML is case sensitive. To ensure that the procedure executes appropriately, specify all tags, elements, and data using uppercase and lowercase letters exactly as shown in the XML examples. For additional guidelines on how to use XML, see the Microsoft Web site (http://www.microsoft.com/).
