Which of the following statements about the differences between a domain and an organizational unit (OU) are true?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A, B, C

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation (HCIA--Cloud Computing aligned):

In Active Directory (AD), domains and organizational units (OUs) serve different purposes.

A is true. Both domains and OUs can contain AD objects such as users, computers, and groups.

B is true. Authentication is performed at the domain level. Users log in to a domain, not to an OU.

C is true. Group Policy Objects (GPOs) can be applied at both the domain level and the OU level.

D is false. An OU can exist inside a domain, but a domain cannot exist inside an OU. Domains are top-level logical boundaries.

Therefore, the correct answers are A, B, and C.

I think D is misleading. OUs are part of domains, not the other way around.

D seems off. A domain can’t exist in an OU.

Yes, but C is tricky. Group policies apply to both, so it’s true too.

I feel like A is also true. Both can have AD objects.

Wait, D doesn't sound right... can a domain really exist in an OU?

I’m a bit confused about the relationship between OUs and domains. Can an OU really exist within a domain?

I practiced a question like this before, and I think it's definitely true that you can configure group policies for both OUs and domains.

I think both OUs and domains can have AD objects, but I can't recall if that's true for group policies too.

I remember that users log in to domains, but I'm not completely sure about the OU part.
