Here we start Understanding OU hierarchy. GPOs are usually linked at the OU level, so ensuring that the OU hierarchy supports a GPO structure is key. The OU hierarchy should reflect the administrative structure of the organization, and a properly designed OU hierarchy can make delegation of administrative rights possible. When designing the OU hierarchy, you should make the objects to be managed a primary concern. For example, the structure may be based on geography, with an OU for each location, and child OUs are created only when it makes sense for application of Group Policy or for delegation.
