Question

Case Project: Creating OUs

Until now, user accounts have been stored in only three OUs in the single domain. There is

currently one OU for each of the New York City, Quebec City, and Montreal locations. The

Advanced Sounds installation planning committee has decided to adopt your Active Directory

structure proposed as in lab 2, and now they want to also create OUs for

each division in the company and place these under the domains that you have proposed.

Further, the committee wants to have a computer technical specialist in each division to

manage its OU and the user accounts under it. To help accomplish this, the committee asks

you to create an instructional document that shows how to create an OU and delegate

authority.

Let us first know the term Delegate Authority, It is nothing but a critical skill for managers, as it creates more fluid and efficient workflows.A manager alone cannot perform all the tasks assigned to him. In order to meet the targets, the manager should delegate authority. Delegation of Authority means division of authority and powers downwards to the subordinate. Delegation is about entrusting someone else to do parts of your job.Delegation is the assignment of any authority to another person (normally from a manager to a subordinate) to carry out specific activities. It is one of the core concepts of management leadership. However, the person who delegated the work remains accountable for the outcome of the delegated work.
