User OU's how do you split yours?

[tj2419]

Where i work we use an RM CC4.5 network.

 

Previously all the student users are split into folders with the year they leave and then either A-I, J-M or N-Z.

 

E.g. Next years year 7's will be 21 A-I, 21 J-M and 21 N-Z.

 

Is this a quirk of RM or can the users be just put into an OU called Students 21 or something?

You can put the users into any folder structure you wish within reason.

 

For Students, the RM systems normally want them to be created within the \Establishments\XXX\Students OU

If you wanted to create a folder/OU within it called Students 21 then you can

curriculum users ---2010

curriculum users ---2011

curriculum users ---staff

or on newer setups

curriculum users ---pupils---2010

curriculum users ---pupils---2011

curriculum users ---staff

 

you can do it realistically any way you want but to me keep it simple

I would say it will be better to create an OU with the year of entry . ie year 2016, year 2015,year 2014,year 2013 and year 2012. Where year 2016 will be year 7 and year 2015 will be year 8 and so forth.

Looks very familiar to me too, except I also have a Bursary group in staff to make sorting finance system permissions easier

Mostly split up for reasons of targetting GPOs, LDAP queries and dynamic distribution lists.

I'm too lazy to type them out.

Redid structure like this on new (CC4.5) domain last year.

 

Also students are in Intake20xx groups for permissions etc.
