Hello Experts, <br />
<br />
I have a question on AD design <br />
<br />
I have a company with 4 offices in different countries. I have a data center in north America and One office in US. <br />
<br />
My questions is about best practice for example in the OU for US and it has 2 sub OU which are BU1 and BU2. &nbsp;Do I create one OU for users under the US OU or do I create the users ou under each department? &nbsp;Also what about OU for laptops, desktops, printers and servers. <br />
<br />
Thanks,
