Hiya
I have just inherited a domain as part of my new job. The framework is
there but it’s very messy and not organised. However, one thing that
has been done is to have two separate OU’s one for users and one for
computers.
There are no further divisions below the top level. Shortly I am going
to be restructuring the tree, but I have since found out that a lot of
other applications like the AV etc. has been set up to read from AD and
these particular OU’s – same with WSUS.
I don’t want to make a huge amount of admin work as I’m on my own, but
is there any disadvantage to keeping users/computers separate and just
replicating the function/location divisions through each OU? Or is it
best to completely start from scratch and just use the one OU with
divisions that include bothe users and computers?
i.e. Is there any disdvantage to preserving the current OU’s but just
tidying them up into sub containers?
Thanks for any advice.
