[SOLVED] Can ONLY create OU in root of domain

clayguthrie · 10-22-2009, 09:57 AM

Hello all,

I'm an admin for a business with a server 2000 active directory environment. I'm attempting to un clutter AD a bit, but i cannot seem to create an OU... EXCEPT in the root of the domain. I am a member of the Domain Admins, enterprise Admins, Schema Admin groups. I can do just about anything else i need to do minus this. When i right-click on the computers or users OU i do not get an option to even create an OU. Same thing applies when i am in those OU's ( Users, Computers ) and i right click. Any advice? AM i not in a group? Is this doable?

Does anyone know what could be causing this? It's a bit of a pain in the butt. I just need to be able to create Oorganizational units in the users and computers containers to separate disabled users and to better group them by department.

Well, you would need to create a OU in the root .. and more OUs in that container. You can not create OUs in folders (users, or computers default container)
