It is very essential to know the OU (Organizational Unit) of an object in the AD most of the times. Especially when you want to create a new object with the same properties as that of another object by mirroring the existing one. You have to find the object from the container where it resides, then right click on it to get the option "Copy". Here is a way to find the OU of an object.

Follow the below steps to find the organizational unit of an object in active directory:

1. Goto the Active Directory Users and Computers console. (The Run command for this is dsa.msc.
2. Right click on the domain name and click Find and you will get the Find users, contacts and groups.
3. Type the name of the object for which you want to find the OU and click Find Now
4. Right click on the object and click properties, and you will see the canonical name of the object which shows the exact location of the object.

The object tab will appear only if the option Advanced Features is checked under the view menu on Active Directory Users and Computers
