*Note: For the Object tab to be visible, you will need to activate the Advanced Feature view via the main MMC menu:

Thanks, but I tried on RSAT for Windows 10 and also on Windows 2012 Server R2 but neither had this Object tab. @DrNoone's solution worked for me. – Filipe Oct 26 '16 at 17:56
No problem, which-ever works for you. :) But yeah, I forgot that the Advanced Features view needs to be enabled for that tab to show (updated my answer). – Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 Oct 26 '16 at 18:01
Now I see the Object tab. Great improvement on my usability. Best Regards. – Filipe Oct 27 '16 at 11:58

That's exactly what I was looking for. Thanks. – Filipe Oct 26 '16 at 17:55
In order for me to add the Distinguished Name column to the UI, I had to enable the advanced features that @Techie007 described. – Mark Iannucci Jul 23 '19 at 20:23

I found it under the menu at View > Choose Columns > Published At. – goodman Mar 23 '21 at 19:56

From the user properties window, you'll have tabs that says Object.

In Canonical name of object:

You'll see the complete path showing the OU of that user.

I hope that helps.

You can do this via Windows PowerShell:

Simply type:

Get-ADuser -Identity "User_Name"
