OU Management

Scenarios

An organization unit (OU) is a container that organizes objects into logical management groups to manage resources in the containers. An OU contains one or more objects, such as users, computers, printers, applications, file sharing, and other sub-OUs.

Prerequisites

  • A Windows AD domain has been configured.
  • Before creating an OU, you need to create OUs on the AD server.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the management console.
  1. Click OU Management.

    The OU Management page is displayed.

  2. Click Create OU.

    The Create OU dialog box is displayed.

  3. Enter the OU name.

    • In OU1/OU2/OU3..., / separates layers of OUs. Enter an OU name that exists in the domain.
    • OU naming rule: Only letters, digits, spaces, and special characters (-_/$!@*?.) are allowed. The OU name cannot contain slashes (/) but multiple layers of OU can be separated using slashes (/). A maximum of five layers of OUs are supported. Spaces are not allowed before and after slashes (/). For example, the format of a layer-3 OU is ab/cd/ef.

  4. Select a domain name and enter the description.
  5. Click OK. The OU is created.

Associated Operation

If the name of an OU on the AD server is changed or an OU has been deleted, you can modify or delete the OU in the OU Management list.
