Re: Users container



That's how it is normally done. "OU" isn't a valid child of "container"
(which is what Users is), so you really don't have a choice. :)

Why is it that you cannot create an OU within the Users container? I know
technically why but I'm wondering why Microsoft designed it this way.
That
seems like a logical place to segregate users for group policy
application.
Are there best practices someone can refer me to for AD orgainzation? It
just seems a bit sloppy to add a bunch of user OU's right off the root,
but
I'm wondering if this is how it's normally done.
