543710 2007-04-24 01:43:00 I'm trying to create a vbscript for creating active directory users on a server 2003 machine & set their group memberships at the same time, but all the example scripts talk about OUs & I can't figure out what the OU on my server is.

All the information I have found on OUs has been very confusing & hasn't told me how to figure out what it is supposed to be.

I'm trying to add this (www.computerperformance.co.uk) script to my user creation script.

Do I have an OU set up by default? if not, do I even need one? It sounds to me like they serve a similar purpose to groups & only become more useful in larger domains.
