Hello my friend! Today I show you step-by-step how to Create OU and User Account on Windows Server 2012 R2 inside VMware! After promoting server to domain controller, you need to organize users into department folders called Organizational Unit (OU) and create user accounts for domain login. Very easy to follow with video tutorial in Khmer! Let's get started!
๐ก Tip: Using OU folders helps you organize company departments (like
Sales,IT,HR) and apply Group Policies easily to specific departments!
Step 1: Open Active Directory Users and Computers (ADUC)
- Open Server Manager > click Tools menu at top right > select Active Directory Users and Computers (or press
Win + R> typedsa.msc> press Enter). - Expand your domain name in left panel (example:
mydomain.local).
Step 2: Create New Organizational Unit (OU)
- Right-click on your domain name (example:
mydomain.local) > select New > click Organizational Unit. - Type your OU name (example:
SalesorIT). - Keep Protect container from accidental deletion box checked!
- Click OK.
๐ก Tip: Always keep "Protect container from accidental deletion" option checked when creating OU! This prevents someone from accidentally deleting whole department folder and deleting all user accounts inside!
Step 3: Create New User Account inside OU
- Right-click your newly created OU (example:
Sales) > select New > click User. - Enter user information:
- First name:
Sok - Last name:
Sao - User logon name:
sok.sao
- First name:
- Click Next.
- Type strong password and confirm password.
- Choose password option:
- Check User must change password at next logon (for real employee user).
- Or check Password never expires (for lab testing user).
- Click Next > click Finish.
๐ก Tip: Use consistent domain login name format across company (example:
firstname.lastnamelikesok.saoorjohn.doe) so users never forget their login username!
