Active Directory – Planning stage – OU’s

by sunshine47 . Updated 21 years, 2 months ago

Hi there,

I work for a multinational organisation.
We are one company(as oppsed to a comglomorate) with around 20 offices in Europe and Japan(500 users).
Each country is using their own language for the desktop OS’s(2000, xp). Currently each office is a single NT4 domain(no trusts).
I am playing with different AD models and am leaning towards the geographical approach but was wondering a few things.

1. Would it be a good idea to have an OU for each Country and under that an OU for each City? This would be useful as we do have an administrator in each country, but is this just adding a layer too many? (I could easily just make the admin guy the administrator of which ever city in that country)

2. Do any of you (with multinationals) use a OU based on Language? Is it useful?

Regards,
