1 00:00:06,420 --> 00:00:11,880 Before you create a computer object an actor director you must have a place to put it. 2 00:00:12,150 --> 00:00:16,820 When you create a demand the computer's container is created by default. 3 00:00:16,830 --> 00:00:20,590 This container is the default location for the computer account. 4 00:00:20,730 --> 00:00:26,020 When a computer joins the domain this container is not an IOU. 5 00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:29,630 Instead it is an object of the container class. 6 00:00:29,670 --> 00:00:32,520 Its common name is computers. 7 00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:39,350 There are small but important differences between a container and tell you you can not create an IOU 8 00:00:39,450 --> 00:00:45,140 within a container so you can not subdivide the computers container. 9 00:00:45,150 --> 00:00:49,920 You also can not link GPO to akin to a container. 10 00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:58,710 Therefore it is recommended that you create custom 0 use to host computer objects instead of using the 11 00:00:58,790 --> 00:01:00,550 computer's container. 12 00:01:00,660 --> 00:01:07,950 Let's open active directory use there are some computers or you can open Active Directory administrative 13 00:01:07,950 --> 00:01:12,750 center and take a look at default location for computer objects. 14 00:01:12,750 --> 00:01:20,430 You can find the distinguished name here which provides a full description of the computer subject and 15 00:01:20,430 --> 00:01:27,360 of course you can take any action with this object like with any other object in Active Directory. 16 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:34,740 Most organizations create at least 2 0 use for computer objects one for server resound to another to 17 00:01:34,740 --> 00:01:43,330 host computer accounts for client computers such as desktops laptops and other user devices. 18 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:50,940 These 2 0 use are in addition to the domain controllers or you that is created by default. 19 00:01:50,940 --> 00:01:58,520 During the 80 days installation you can create computer objects in any oh you in your domain. 20 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:05,610 There is no technical difference between a computer object in a client who you a computer object in 21 00:02:05,610 --> 00:02:13,350 a server or your computer object and the domain controller so you and even a computer object in an all 22 00:02:13,350 --> 00:02:15,710 you intended for users. 23 00:02:15,780 --> 00:02:24,420 However administrators typically create separate o use to provide a unique scopes of management so that 24 00:02:24,420 --> 00:02:32,480 they can delegate management of client objects to one team and management of server objects to another. 25 00:02:32,550 --> 00:02:41,070 Your administrative model might require you to do what your client and server or use into smaller groups. 26 00:02:41,070 --> 00:02:49,170 Many organizations create SAPO use bennies as server or you to classify and manage specific types of 27 00:02:49,170 --> 00:02:50,060 servers. 28 00:02:50,070 --> 00:02:56,760 For example you might create an all you for File and Print servers and owe you for database servers 29 00:02:57,030 --> 00:03:03,340 or any number of 0 use that categorize the server types in your organization. 30 00:03:03,420 --> 00:03:11,490 By doing so you can delegate permissions to manage computer objects in the appropriate o you to the 31 00:03:11,490 --> 00:03:15,360 team of administrators for each type of server. 32 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:23,950 Similarly geographically distributed organizations with local desktop support teams often do white apparent 33 00:03:23,950 --> 00:03:29,040 to you for clients into SOP or use for each site. 34 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:37,590 This approach enables each site's support team to create computer objects in the site for client computers 35 00:03:37,860 --> 00:03:47,160 and then use those computer objects to join computers to the domain your or use structure should reflect 36 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:56,380 your administrative model so that your own use can provide single points of management for delegating 37 00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:57,510 administration. 38 00:03:57,780 --> 00:04:05,880 Additionally by using separate or use you can create various baseline configurations by using different 39 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:14,670 GP shows that are linked to the client and the server or use group policy you can specify configuration 40 00:04:14,670 --> 00:04:23,830 for collections of computers by linking GP shows that contain configuration instructions to all use. 41 00:04:23,940 --> 00:04:32,130 It is common for organizations to separate clients into desktop and laptop or use use that can link 42 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:41,520 GP shows that specify desktop or laptop configuration to the appropriate o use a tip for you. 43 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:49,790 You can use the red deer or RCMP command line tool to reconfigure the default container for computers. 44 00:04:49,830 --> 00:04:57,060 For example if you want to change the default container for a computer stern or you called might my 45 00:04:57,060 --> 00:05:05,280 computers use the following syntax radio or ACM P or U equals my computer's coma. 46 00:05:05,820 --> 00:05:09,610 Sequels control so call my G C equals com.
