How can I update the OU settings of an AD Connector ?

Hi, how can I update the OU settings and objects of an AD Connector once it's created ? It seems in the UI all the fields are readonly ?

You have to create a new AD Connector, sync it  fully. Disable the original connector, then after a few days/syncs, then delete the original connector. There is very little you can edit in Connectors after they are created.

They can be edited via PowerShell via native CMLets so it will be supported. You need to 

$Connector = Get-SCSMConnector | Where-Object {$_.Displayname -eq ""}

Then update the $Connector object as you need. Then save it with

$Connector | Set-SCSMConnector

Good luck

Actually, you can change this path via Powershell.  Not sure if it's advised/supported by Microsoft though.

Would be good to have them serialized somewhere in xml or json so that they could easily be recreated and regenerated when necessary.
