AD usually works best when you can keep it as simple as possible.  If
the default OU will work for most of your computers, I'd use it.  I only
make OUs when I need different GPO settings, etc. for a certain group of
machines and/or users.  For example, I have a separate OU for my web
servers because I need different GPO settings on those machines than I
do on my workstations.

My predecessor created an organization unit for our agency, and he then
created a sub OU of that for the computers of the agency.  I am aware,
of course, of the default Computers OU of Active Directory.  Is it
better to just use the default OU?  (And if I need to differentiate
between different divisions within our agency, I can just create sub
OU's of the Computers
OU.)
