    Hi all,

    I'm trying to create an OU using vRO's "Create an organizational Unit" Workflow. 

    I also want to enable "Protected From Accidental Deletion" upon creation. 

    I checked AD_OrganizationalUnit.allAttributes and it returned:
    [objectClass, ou, distinguishedName, instanceType, whenCreated, whenChanged, uSNChanged, objectGUID, objectCategory, gPLink, and dSCorePropagationData]

    Of course, there isn't protectedfromaccidentaldeletion... Then I thought... how about I just set the attribute? 

    I tried AD_OrganizationalUnit.setAttribute('protectedfromaccidentaldeletion',True) and I am getting an error: "Error in attribute conversion operation"

    I think I'm using wrong attribute name in here?

    Any ideas? 

    +PS. Running Powershell CMD isn't viable as I don't have Powershell Host Server. 
    New-ADOrganizationalUnit -Name "NewOUName" -Path "OU=Blah1,OU=Blah,DC=dc01" -ProtectedFromAccidentalDeletion $True

    Thank you in advance.
