With regards to Group Policy, what does OU stand for?

EXPLANATION

 Organizational Unit (OU) is a container in Active Directory domain that can contain different objects from the same AD domain: other containers, groups, user and computer accounts. Active Directory OU is a simple administrative unit within a domain on which an administrator can link Group Policy objects and assign permissions to another user.

 Thus, we can distinguish two main tasks when using OU, except for storing objects in Active Directory:

  • Delegation of management and administrative tasks within the domain to other administrators and users without granting them the domain administrator permissions;
  • Linking Group Policies (GPO) to all objects (users and computers) in this OU.
