Currently we are in the designing and implementing phase for the first time
with Active Directory.  We are in a single domain environment.

How are you structuring your OU's? How are you targeting your users in the
OU structure?  By dept? By employee category? By machine type (desktops,
laptops)?

For ex -

Employees
   Staff
   Faculty
Labs
  Students

What has or has not worked out for your school in the long run?  Do you have
any recommendations based on your experiences?

Thanks in advance,
