This section guides you through administering OUs in the Delegation and Configuration console via the Account and Resource Management node. With the appropriate powers, you can perform various OU management tasks, such as moving an OU to another container.
NOTE:You can manage OUs only through the Delegation and Configuration Console.
You can modify properties for OUs. The powers you have determine which properties you can modify for an OU in the managed domain or managed subtree.
You can create an OU in the managed domain or managed subtree. You can also modify general properties, such as the OU description.
You can create a new OU by cloning an existing OU from the managed domain or managed subtree. You can also modify general properties for new OU, such as the OU description. Cloning an OU does not clone the objects contained in the OU.
You can quickly and easily open the Active Directory tree to the location of a specific OU in the managed domain or managed subtree.
You can move an OU to a different container in the managed domain. When managing a subtree of a domain, you can move OUs within the hierarchy of that subtree.
NOTE:
If moving an OU to another container increases your powers for the moved OU, DRA does not permit you to move the OU.
You can also move an OU by dragging it to the new location.
You can delete OUs from the managed domain or managed subtree. You can only delete empty OUs. If an OU contains objects, you cannot delete the OU. In order to delete an OU that contains objects, delete all of the objects first, and then delete the OU.
