OU's are catalogs that you want to make, to build your organisation virtual
on your machine. Naturally in a school you would have students in one OU and
teachers in a different. There are many settings you kan give the students
but not teachers. You apply settings with a GPO (Group Policy Objekts) to an
OU.
Group's are used to manage security on the filesystem, printers and
different resources in the network. You apply users to a global group.
AD (Active Directory) is a central database with users, machines, all
resources. When you make a AD you have to name it, that is an domainname.
Sites are used when you use child domain or more than one domain controllers
that is placed on drifferent places, with a week line. The domain
controllers are replicated when you want, to ...... don't used the line all
the time.
DHCP are leasing IP adresses to machines in the local network.
