AD Structure question
nel
i know this is probs a very open question. but what is the best way to structure your Active directory? i dont know much about AD but what im trying to say is the structuring with OU's etc. like say if i was setting up a new domain would it be best to create OU's refering to the company departments? or would it be best to create OU's for each level of user?
