# Example: Users and groups in different OUs, under different parents — Microsoft Active Directory

In this example, there are two separate OUs, `User Accounts` and `Group Accounts` in the domain `example.com`.

Specifying the OU takes the form:

    OU=

    child_OU,OU=

    parent_OU

In the example, there are four different accounts:

    OU=Admin Users,OU=User Accounts,DC=example.DC=com

    OU=Finance Users,OU=User Accounts,DC=example.DC=com

    OU=Admin,OU=Group Accounts,DC=example.DC=com

    OU=Others,OU=Group Accounts,DC=example.DC=com

For this example, to authenticate users and groups, you would make these entries in the Add Directory screen:

Directory type | `Active Directory`
Base DN | `DC=example,DC=com`
