Unanswered Moving OU for Distributed Key Management

    I'd like to relocate the OU that's tied to distributed key management in VMM 2012 SP1.  When I do move this OU to another location, VMM breaks until I place it back.  I've searched for the VMM OU location in the registry but didn't find anything.  I've tried backing up the VMM state, doing a clean install pointing to the new OU, and then restoring the VMM state from SCVMMRecover.exe.  But the issue returned after restoring the state. 

    I imagine the information for DKM is stored in the database.  I'd like to search for this information and make the change to point DKM to the new OU in SQL Server Management Studio.  What technique or method would you go about doing this? 

    We're testing in a lab environment.

    No guarantee for functional integrity if you were to change these values in the DB. On the other hand you're in a lab environment and can try.

    SELECT PropertyName, PropertyValue
    FROM [VirtualManagerDB].[dbo].[tbl_VMM_GlobalSetting]
    WHERE PropertyName like '%Container%';

    PropertyName        PropertyValue
    TopContainerName CN=VMMDKM,DC=yourdomain,DC=com
    ContainerName      DKM_SCVMM_YOURVMM2012SERVERNAME_034c29e3-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
