Delegated OUs are named with a 3-4 character
abbreviation of the name of the Department or College that requested the
OU.
Child OUs within a delegated OU do not need to
conform to any naming convention.
User Account Names
Most user accounts are created
automatically during the NetID creation process. However, there are
some exceptions; a specific naming convention is required to prevent
these manually created accounts from being overwritten by automatically
created accounts.
Computer accounts are created
as servers and workstations are joined to the domain. In order to
prevent duplication of host names all computer account names must be
prefaced with the name of the delegated OU followed by a dash (-) and
ending with the desired computer name (i.e. UITS-Server1)
Group Account Names
While UITS will provide
access to a number of automatically created and maintained security
groups, most security groups are created by the OU administrators.
All group account names must be prefaced with the name of the
delegated OU followed by a dash (-) and ending with the desired
group name (i.e. UITS-IISWebAdmins)
Group Policy Object Names
The ability to create group
policy objects is delegated to all Delegated OU Administrators. In
order to establish ownership of a GPO and prevent duplicate names all
GPO names must be prefaced with the name of the delegated OU followed by
a dash (-) and ending with the desired GPO name (i.e. UITS-workstsations_baseline)
