Applies To: Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012

Item Details

Name

Provides a space for you to type the name of the organizational unit (OU).

Create in

Specifies the container in which the new OU is created. To specify a different container, click Change .

Protect from accidental deletion

When this option is selected, it updates the security descriptor of the object—and, potentially, its parent—which denies all administrators or users of this ___domain and ___domain controller the ability to delete this object.

Note
This setting does not provide protection against accidental deletion of a subtree that contains the protected object. Therefore, we recommend that you enable this setting for all the protected object's containers, up to the ___domain naming context head.
