Windows Server® 2012 Unleashed

Summary

Without some form of logical organization of users within your network environment, chaos reigns and administration grinds to a halt. Administrators need some way to lasso groups of users together into logically identifiable groupings so that changes, security privileges, and administration can be accomplished en masse. AD DS was specifically designed to be extremely scalable with regard to administrative functionality, and the flexibility of organizational unit and group design is a testament to this strength. Proper design of both OU and group structure will go a long way toward helping gain control and reduce overhead in a domain environment.
