Assigning permissions to network resources
If you want to quickly assign permissions to network resources such as file shares, printers, users, and groups in your enterprise, simply move their associated directory objects to different servers that require the same permissions to the same OU. Objects inherit permissions from their new OU and lose permissions from their old OU. However, permissions assigned directly to an object are moved together with the object.
