Server 2003 - OU/GPO best practices, fairly confused.

hi guys,

i trying restructure companies active directory , don't know best way there many conflicting articles. maybe can critique findings far.

basically have 3 companies have employees in 3 locations (random names):

locations - richmond, surrey, maple ridge

companies - abc, 123, acme

each location has employees each company, how structure:

i guess main difference there 3 different companies, best idea (as examples)

richmond->acme->sales->users

surrey->acme->sales->users

surrey->abc->marketing->computers

 

still simple right?

just curious on thoughts, thanks

 

 

hello again,

if want proceed mentioned using sites then:

create ous based on:

company > job surrey > it

there no need create ou users , computers.

let's suppose have users , computers in surrey add user/computer accounts in surrey > it. all!

keep model easiest 1 can do. advice you.
