Directory Tree Structure
Small-sized networks are commonly site-, workgroup-, and department-
oriented in structure. They are easily managed by a system-wide
administrative group with central management at the organizational and
departmental levels.
The Directory tree begins with a single Organization object with few or no
Organizational Unit objects below. If Organizational Units exist, they are
based on functional groups, projects, departments, etc., within a single site.
Resources are usually shared by all network users and groups.
