Question:
How do I create a new group in my Organizational Unit (OU) in Central Services?
Answer:
Note: You must be the administrator of your OU in Central Services in order to add a group account.

  1. Start your OU's custom Microsoft Management Console (MMC).

  2. Notes:
    • This was sent to you via e-mail upon creation of your Central Services OU.
    • The MMC icon looks like a hammer and is labeled with your department name.
    • When the console loads, there will be two panes. The pane on the left contains a tree view directory for your OU, and the right pane contains the computer, user, or group accounts in your OU.

  3. Right-click in the right pane, select New, and then select Group.
  4. In the Group Name text box, type the name of the group you are creating.
  5. Under Group Scope, select the Domain Local option.
  6. Under Group Type, select the Security option.
  7. Click OK.
