Yes you can create an OU called Groups. Actually I can't imagine a reason not to.

Group Structure <br />
<br />
Question...<br />
<br />
Can I create an OU at the root of the domain ( XYZ.local) and in that OU create or nest all of my Groups<br />
<br />
This is what I mean.<br />
<br />
I have a folder named art<br />
I'm creating 2 groups named as follows<br />
<br />
Group 1 (resourceart)<br />
Group 2 (userart)<br />
<br />
I go ahead and add the users to the Group named &quot;userart&quot; then nest userart into resoureart and finally on the folder NTFS permission add the group resoureart.<br />
<br />
All of the above works correct, but I'm just wondering if I can create an OU named Groups and start to create all of my domain groups in it.<br />
<br />
I think I should be able to, but just wanted to get confirmation before I do.<br />
<br />
Thank for all of your help everyone.
