Who can request an OU?
One of the primary benefits of Active Directory is to allow full autonomy and self-administration to the various departments on campus, within a campus-wide architecture. Thus, IMSS will primarily create and assign top-level OUs within the ad.caltech.edu domain at the division or department level. The hierarchical structure of Active Directory then allows for sub-OUs to be created below the top-level OU, at the discretion of the top-level OU administrators. This means that requests for OUs by individual labs within a certain department should go to their department’s or division’s OU administrators, and not to IMSS. However, certain Caltech-affiliated groups, organizations and labs may request a top-level OU if a suitable requirement can be shown. These requests will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis.
