Practice: Modifying Permissions for Active Directory Objects In this practice, you will: Create a new organizational unit and document the permissions Remove the inherited permissions and document the new permissions Manually assign Full Control to a user account and create a new object Test the permissions Examine effective permissions

10. Lesson: Delegating Control of Organizational Units What Is Delegation of Control of an Organizational Unit? The Delegation of Control Wizard Modifying the Delegation of Control Wizard Custom Management Consoles and Taskpads Practice: Delegating Control of an Organizational Unit

13. Modifying the Delegation of Control Wizard The list of common tasks in the Delegation Wizard is controlled by templates in the delegwiz.ini file You can modify the list of common tasks by modifying the delegwiz.ini file to include other templates

14. Custom Management Consoles and Taskpads Custom management consoles or taskpads can be used to provide the tools for delegated users to perform their tasks

15. Practice: Delegating Control of an Organizational Unit In this practice, you will: Delegate control of the sales users to Don Hall and the sales computers to Judy Lew Examine the permissions assigned by the Delegation of Control Wizard Test the delegated permissions for the Sales organizational unit
