Before you create a computer object an actor director you must have a place to put it.
When you create a demand the computer's container is created by default.
This container is the default location for the computer account.
When a computer joins the domain this container is not an IOU.
Instead it is an object of the container class.
Its common name is computers.
There are small but important differences between a container and tell you you can not create an IOU
within a container so you can not subdivide the computers container.
You also can not link GPO to akin to a container.
Therefore it is recommended that you create custom 0 use to host computer objects instead of using the
computer's container.
Let's open active directory use there are some computers or you can open Active Directory administrative
center and take a look at default location for computer objects.
You can find the distinguished name here which provides a full description of the computer subject and
of course you can take any action with this object like with any other object in Active Directory.
Most organizations create at least 2 0 use for computer objects one for server resound to another to
host computer accounts for client computers such as desktops laptops and other user devices.
These 2 0 use are in addition to the domain controllers or you that is created by default.
During the 80 days installation you can create computer objects in any oh you in your domain.
There is no technical difference between a computer object in a client who you a computer object in
a server or your computer object and the domain controller so you and even a computer object in an all
you intended for users.
However administrators typically create separate o use to provide a unique scopes of management so that
they can delegate management of client objects to one team and management of server objects to another.
Your administrative model might require you to do what your client and server or use into smaller groups.
Many organizations create SAPO use bennies as server or you to classify and manage specific types of
servers.
For example you might create an all you for File and Print servers and owe you for database servers
or any number of 0 use that categorize the server types in your organization.
By doing so you can delegate permissions to manage computer objects in the appropriate o you to the
team of administrators for each type of server.
Similarly geographically distributed organizations with local desktop support teams often do white apparent
to you for clients into SOP or use for each site.
This approach enables each site's support team to create computer objects in the site for client computers
and then use those computer objects to join computers to the domain your or use structure should reflect
your administrative model so that your own use can provide single points of management for delegating
administration.
Additionally by using separate or use you can create various baseline configurations by using different
GP shows that are linked to the client and the server or use group policy you can specify configuration
for collections of computers by linking GP shows that contain configuration instructions to all use.
It is common for organizations to separate clients into desktop and laptop or use use that can link
GP shows that specify desktop or laptop configuration to the appropriate o use a tip for you.
You can use the red deer or RCMP command line tool to reconfigure the default container for computers.
For example if you want to change the default container for a computer stern or you called might my
computers use the following syntax radio or ACM P or U equals my computer's coma.
Sequels control so call my G C equals com.
