In this video i will create Active Directory Objects.

 
    In this exercise, you will create various active directory objects such as users and groups. You should have completed the previous lab before attempting this exercise.
  1. In the Active Directory Users And Computers tool, expand the current domain to list the objects currently contained within it. For this exercise, you will use the second- and third-level OUs contained within the North America top-level OU.
  2. Right-click the Corporate OU, and select New ? User. Fill in the following information:
    •     First Name: Monica
    •     Initial: D
    •     Last Name: President
    •     Full Name: (leave as default)
    •     User Logon Name: mdpresident (leave default domain)
    •     Click Next to continue.
  3. Enter a password for this user, then confirm it. Note that you can also make changes to password settings here. Click Next.
  4. You will see a summary of the user information. Click Finish to create the new user.
  5. Create another user in the RD container with the following information:
    •     First Name: John
    •     Initials: Q
    •     Last Name: Admin
    •     Full Name: (leave as default)
    •     User Logon Name: jqadmin (leave default domain)
    •     Click Next to continue.
  6. Assign a password. Click Next, then click Finish to create the user.
  7. Right-click the RD OU, and select New ? Contact. Use the following information to fill in the properties of the Contact object:
    •     First Name: Jane
    •     Initials: R
    •     Last Name: Admin
    •     Display Name: jradmin
    •     Click OK to create the new Contact object.
  8. Right-click the RD OU, and select New ? Shared Folder. Enter Software for the name and \\server1\applications for the network path. Note that although this resource does not exist, the object can still be created. Click OK to create the Shared Folder object.
  9. Right-click the HR OU, and select New ? Group. Type All Users for the group name (leave the Group Name (Pre-Windows 2000) field with the same value). For the group scope, select Global, and for the group type, select Security. To create the group, click OK.
  10. Right-click the Sales OU and select New ? Computer. Type Workstation1 for the name of the computer. Notice that the pre-Windows 2000 name is automatically populated and that, by default, the members of the Domain Admins group are the only ones that can add this computer to the domain. Place a check mark in the Assign This Computer Account As A Pre-Windows 2000 Computer box, then click Next. This is not a managed computer, so just click Next again to continue. Finally, click Finish to create the Computer object.
