1.0 Introduction:
'Organizational Units' (OU), are administrative-level containers on a computer network
that allow network administrators to organize groups of users together, so that any
changes or any other administrative tasks could be accomplished in an error-free and
efficient way. Using an 'OU' administrators can group objects into logical units and also
place users, groups, computers, and other organizational units in them.
AD Manager Plus's OU Reports provide the administrator good visibility into OUs,
empty OUs, changed/modified OUs. All these reports can be generated and even
exported in just a single mouse-click.
In total contrast to conventional methods like native AD tools, PowerShell, etc. AD
Manager Plus provides pre-built Organizational unit reports. Get the free download of

reports like:

2.0 GROUP STRUCTURE:
In this three-tiered organization of basic groups, functional departments/ organizational
units and organizational superstructure the organization structure of the basic groups
can include four which are:
1. Functional
2. Mixed
3. Matrix
4. Horizontal (informal)
The first three of these forms can be recognized in organograms, but it is not usually
possible to chart all the informal horizontal relationships, although dotted lines can be
used for a few most significant relationships.
2.1 Functional groups:
Functional groups contain individuals of a common functional, technical or professional
specialism. Examples are production, marketing and finance Other examples (on a
different scale) include design, construction, software engineering, electrical work and
so on. This specialization by function leads to an efficient division of lab our and
utilization of resources.
2.2 Mixed groups:
Mixed groups, as their name implies, are made up of individuals from different
functional, technical or professional used for the smaller organizational unit, which
might consist of only one mixed Examples of mixed groups include task forces, product
groups and regional Each resources and skills needed to complete its assigned tasks,
Mixed groups team working in the organizational unit and led to less conflict and
undesirable However, they do not use resources as efficiently as functional groups.

2.3 Matrix groups:
The matrix group is an organization form that attempts to combine the efficient use of
people (associated with functional groups) with the higher potential for and goal with
mixed groups). Is a secondary form of organization in which people from different
functional a mixed group under its own separate matrix manager. In our context, the
matrix manager is the project manager whose role is to integrate the individuals noted
as 'A' the organogram work together on the project for which the matrix manager is
responsible. The functional or parent groups remain intact. The matrix group members
belong to two groups and each reports to two superiors; that is, there is dual
subordination.
2.4 Horizontal groups:
It is generally necessary for individuals in functional groups to work with people from
other groups. No organogram can show all these necessary cross relationships that
are usual between peers and near-peers in the different functional groups. These
relationships create a secofrary or horizontal group, which exists as a "ghost
organization group' organization. This group is ill- defined, and is without clear superior
or superior-subordinate relationships. In many ways it is similar to a weak form of
matrix group, with no integrating superior and no group identity. Achieved is through
mutual adjustment of the planning systems. There is no single manager who is totally
responsible for the project. Thus this kind of organization does not handle projects
effectively.

3.0 BASIC MANAGERIAL GROUPS:
Groups exist at a levels in the management hierarchy but the foundation blocks of the
hierarchical organization chart are the basic managerial, professional and staff groups.
The subordinate members of these groups may be foremen, but are more generally
first-level managers, or specialists such as accountants, engineers and software
analyst NY The managers of these basic management groups are individuals who
have progressed to the first rung the hierarchical tree.
3.1 All OUs:
This report gives a detailed description of all the organizational units present in the
domains.
3.2 Empty OUs:
Organizational units that don't have any objects are listed in "Empty OUs" report.

3.3 Recently Created OUs:
An administrator should always be aware of all the new organizational units that are
being created. "Recently created OUs" report gives a detailed list of organizational
units, which are created recently.
3.4 Recently Modified OUs:
Sometimes there will be certain domains that are modified with or without
administrator's knowledge. Keeping track of this is essential for monitoring purposes.
"Recently modified OUs" report gives a detailed list of organizational units, which are
modified recently.

3.5 GPO Linked OUs:
Organizational units which are linked to the group policy objects can be viewed in
this "GPO Linked OUs" report.
4.0 Conclusion:
Active Directory provides an infrastructure that enables collaboration between people
and organizations. When designing for delegation of administration, planners must
precisely define their delegation needs, understand the security implications of
delegation, and be aware of the tradeoffs between collaboration, autonomy and
isolation in a directory infrastructure.
To enable the maximum collaboration with the least management cost, an
organization can deploy a single forest design with a single IT organization owning all
forest and domain service management, and delegate data autonomy or isolation to
other organizations by using OUs. Each participating organization must trust the
service owner before joining the forest.
