Re: Rename "Users" OU

What am I thinking? Yes of course. This makes total sense.

Thanks Brian

Actually the user's container has a Well known GUID. The SID is a security
identifier - containers are not security principals, so no SID.

By default the users container isn't an Organizational Unit but just a
container for objects. I don't know of a requirement as far as the SID
is concerned (There is no well known ID that I know of it), that doesn't
mean someone else might know of one though. As a matter of fact there
is a best practices on OU's by Microsoft, checkout the link below.

I would definitely make sure you have a container (or OU) available with
the name of users before you create a new user in your domain though
unless during your creation you specify a new container for it to be
placed into.

I need to rename the "Users" OU to something else and then create a new
OU
called "Users."

The issue is that an application MUST hold its accounts in the users OU,
but
managing these accounts intermixed with domain users and and default
accounts
is getting very muddy.

Are there any problems with renaming the OU (and leaving all the
"normal"
domain accounts in the new OU) and recreating the OU just for the sake
of the
application?

Thanks in advance!
