Windows Server Hacks (2004)


If you manage deployment of Active Directory in a medium-sized or large organization, you probably are spending a significant amount of time trying to maintain consistency in the Active Directory hierarchy. Even within a single domain, it typically makes sense to keep your organizational units (OUs) structured according to some agreed-upon rules. Regardless of whether your top-tier OU design is based on functional, business, geographic, or some other criteria, you will likely benefit from keeping the lower tiers arranged in the same fashion. This way, for example, you can formulate standard operating procedures that will apply across the entire organization. You can also attempt to automate some of the common administrative tasks, such as user, group, or computer account creation; script delegations and permission assignments; and group policy object management on the OU level.
