05 - Windows Server 2022 Manage OU, User and Computer (Video Tutorial in Khmer)

Hello my friend! Today I show you step-by-step how to Create OU, User, Group and Computer accounts in Active Directory (ADUC)! Organizing users and computers into OUs makes server management super clean and easy! Very easy to follow with video tutorial in Khmer! Let me show you!

Step 1: Open Active Directory Users and Computers (ADUC)

1. Open Server Manager > click Tools menu at top right.
2. Select Active Directory Users and Computers (or press Win + R, type dsa.msc, and press Enter!).

💡 Tip: Shortcut dsa.msc opens Active Directory Users and Computers instantly without navigating Server Manager menus!

Step 2: Create Organizational Unit (OU)

An Organizational Unit (OU) is like a folder inside Active Directory to organize departments (like IT, HR, Accounting).

1. Right-click your domain name (example: rean.local) > New > Organizational Unit.
2. Type OU Name (example: IT_Department or HR_Department).
3. Keep Protect container from accidental deletion checked > click OK!

💡 Tip: Always keep "Protect container from accidental deletion" enabled! This stops junior admins from deleting entire department folders by mistake!

Step 3: Create New User Account in OU

1. Right-click your new OU (example: IT_Department) > New > User.
2. Fill details:
   • First name: Sok
   • User logon name: sok.dara (Domain account username!)
3. Click Next, set password, and choose option User must change password at next logon or Password never expires. Click Finish!

💡 Tip: Use consistent logon name standard across company (like firstname.lastname e.g. sok.dara) so domain usernames stay clean and predictable!

Step 4: Create Security Group & Add Users

Security Groups are used to give permissions (like shared folder access) to multiple users at once!

1. Right-click your OU > New > Group.
2. Type Group name (example: IT_Staff_Group), select Global scope and Security type > click OK.
3. Right-click your user (sok.dara) > click Add to a group... > type IT_Staff_Group > click OK!

💡 Tip: Always assign folder/file permissions to Security Groups, NOT individual user accounts! This saves huge time when users join or leave company!
