O
Country objects can contain Organization objects or Alias objects (a leaf
object, described below).
Organization and Organizational Unit objects can contain Organizational
Unit objects or leaf objects (described below).
Leaf objects
Leaf objects don’t contain other objects. They represent network resources,
such as users, computers, printers, and lists. The following table lists and
describes leaf objects.
Organization O
A level below the Country object (unless you don’t use the
Country object), the Organization object helps you organize
other objects in the Directory and allows you to set template
information for users created in this container.
For example, you could use an Organization object to
designate a company, or a university with various departments,
or a department with several project teams.
Organizational
Unit
OU
A level below the Organization object, the Organizational Unit
object helps you to further organize other objects in the
Directory and also allows you to set template information for
users created in this container.
For example, you could use an Organizational Unit object to
designate a division, a business unit, a project team, or a
college or department within a university.
