Active Directory - AD DS OUs
Organizational Units (OUs) in AD DS allow logical grouping of objects such as user accounts, service accounts or computer accounts. They can also be used to divide users or groups by, for example, location, department, company or user type. From here, default values can be specified for the OU (e.g. which default printer to link to the user) or permissions (e.g. which file drives they can read).
You can find the Active Directory Organizational Units created in your system under "AD DS OUs" in the "Connectors" sub-area of Compliance Suite.
Organizational Units are loaded into Compliance Suite and cannot be created directly in your solution. Based on meetings, the relevant Organizational Units are reviewed and a decision is made with regard to the roles to be assigned to the existing OUs. Compliance Suite will then automatically place and move users to the correct OU.
