Lab: Designing Organizational Units and Adding Objects

1. Plan Your OU Structure

Design OUs to reflect your organizational needs. Example structure:

my.lab
├── HR
├── Engineering
└── IT

2. Create OUs in ADUC

Right-click your domain → New → Organizational Unit. Enter the OU name and click OK.

Example: HR, Engineering, IT

3. Add Users to OUs

Create user accounts directly inside the appropriate OU:

OU: HR
User: hr_user

OU: Engineering
User: eng_user

4. Add Groups to OUs

Create groups to match your organizational needs:

OU: HR
Group: HR_Staff

OU: Engineering
Group: Eng_Staff

5. Add Computers to OUs

Join Windows clients to the domain and move them into the appropriate OU:

OU: HR
Computer: HR-PC1

OU: Engineering
Computer: ENG-PC1

6. Verify OU Structure

In ADUC, expand your domain tree and verify that all OUs contain the correct users, groups, and computers.
