1 00:00:06,420 --> 00:00:13,680 When plan an Active Directory functionality you should consider the following high level aspects of 2 00:00:13,810 --> 00:00:15,260 all you design. 3 00:00:15,270 --> 00:00:18,550 The first aspect is administrative purpose. 4 00:00:18,570 --> 00:00:26,300 The O use structure should rely on primarily to administrative purposes such as your Active Directory 5 00:00:26,310 --> 00:00:30,690 tasks delegation modal and your GP. 6 00:00:30,810 --> 00:00:38,690 Avoid mimicking your organizational chart unless it benefits the administrative modal organization charts 7 00:00:38,700 --> 00:00:45,540 change frequently and it's not practical to change your or your structure that often. 8 00:00:45,690 --> 00:00:53,850 If you have requests for department specific GP O's it might be preferable to reflect those departments 9 00:00:53,970 --> 00:00:57,080 in a lower level of the O use structure. 10 00:00:57,090 --> 00:01:05,670 However it is also likely that you have a security and distribution group to reflect the users in this 11 00:01:05,670 --> 00:01:12,140 department and you can instead use security filtering for that purpose. 12 00:01:12,180 --> 00:01:20,310 Users and managers usually do not see the O use structure so there is no benefit in list and corporate 13 00:01:20,310 --> 00:01:22,090 hierarchies there. 14 00:01:22,260 --> 00:01:30,060 If you want to enable users to browse the organizational structure ensure that you fill in the manager 15 00:01:30,150 --> 00:01:32,850 attribute of the user object. 16 00:01:32,850 --> 00:01:41,040 This enables users to use current and previous versions of Microsoft Outlook in combination with the 17 00:01:41,370 --> 00:01:51,390 Exchange server message an infrastructure Microsoft Office 365 and Microsoft Exchange sort of SharePoint 18 00:01:51,390 --> 00:01:56,310 Server to navigate through the organizational structure. 19 00:01:56,310 --> 00:02:00,840 The O U is for administrative purposes only. 20 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,340 Another aspect is inheritance. 21 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:13,320 Inheritance is an important aspect of all new functionality both for delegation of control and GPO application. 22 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:20,940 You should design their or use structure to include objects that require the same administrative control 23 00:02:20,940 --> 00:02:26,280 or group policy settings within the same you structure. 24 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:34,260 This way you can assign the delegation of control or the GPO was set in only once at a higher level. 25 00:02:34,260 --> 00:02:39,670 In the all you structure rather than individually at each child level. 26 00:02:39,780 --> 00:02:47,310 Remember that you can block inheritance for a certain child or use if you do not want the US to apply 27 00:02:47,310 --> 00:02:52,970 the sentence for a higher or you level to a certain child or use. 28 00:02:53,220 --> 00:03:02,520 And lastly the change aspect design your own use structure to accommodate change after you implement 29 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,230 an all you structure. 30 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:12,480 It can be difficult to change especially if you also change design strategies such as changing from 31 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:17,760 an organization based strategy to a resource based strategy. 32 00:03:17,790 --> 00:03:26,430 Ensure that your or use structure leaves room for organizational growth and a reasonable level of structural 33 00:03:26,640 --> 00:03:27,320 change.
