Chapter 4: Managing Containers and Organizational Units
A default Active Directory domain comes with default containers and a default Organizational Unit (OU). The default containers serve different purposes. The Computers and Users containers act as default locations when you create these objects. Other containers contain important objects, for example, the Builtin container. This container contains all default administrative accounts and groups. The default Domain Controllers OU serves as the location for domain controller objects.
The following containers are available by default:
- Builtin
- Computers
- ForeignSecurityPrincipals
- Keys
- LostAndFound
- Managed Service Accounts
- NTDS Quotas
- Program Data
- System
- TPM devices
- Users
