Creating an Organizational Unit Object
You can create Organizational Unit (OU) container objects to subdivide
your eDirectory tree. Organizational Units can be created under an
Organization, Country, or another Organizational Unit object.
Often, the Organizational Unit object represents a department, which holds a
set of objects that commonly need access to each other. A typical example is
a set of User objects, along with the printers, volumes, and applications that
those Users need.
At the highest level of Organizational Unit objects, each Organizational Unit
can represent each site (separated by WAN links) in the network.
