In this chapter, we learnt about AD objects and attributes, and how they have been defined in the AD schema. We also learnt how to define custom attributes in AD schema. Then we looked into creating user account templates and the different types of Managed Service Accounts, followed by different computer groups and their actions. Later, we focused at other objects that we can add to the AD. Last but not the least, we discussed some of the best practices which can be used to manage the AD objects.

In the next chapter, we will be learning about designing and managing the organizational units (OU) structure.
