You can create an OU as follows: in the console tree, right-click the domain or another OU, select New | Organizational Unit, and then follow the instructions in the wizard.
On the first page of the wizard, type the name for the new OU in the Name box. If necessary, select or clear the Protect container from accidental deletion check box. Click Next and then click Finish to complete the operation.
By selecting the Protect container from accidental deletion check box you ensure that the newly created OU cannot be deleted, whether using Active Roles or other tools for Active Directory administration. When somebody attempts to delete an OU for which this check box is selected, the operation returns an error indicating that access is denied. For an existing OU, you can view or change this setting on the Object tab in the Properties dialog box.
