Everyone group question regarding AD and OUs

[Auger282]

We have a big domain with many OUs under the domain (each being its own geographic location). Each location has its own set of servers/users/computers under its respectable OU.

Domain
-location ou
--location users
--location computers
--location servers
-other location
--other users, computers, servers
-other location
--other users, computers, servers


Background Info... I'm configuring a file server at one of these sites and I'm using the "everyone" group to mark generic/shared areas on the server... but it's not for everyone on the domain in all OUs/sites... it's really only for everyone in my Users OU at that one site.

Question... Is there a built-in group that would only cover the users under my location OU or do I manually have to upkeep one that would included all THIS locations users. Or am I completely wrong in saying that the everyone group includes everyone across the whole domain.

Thanks!

First of all, Everyone is everyone, not only for your domain. All users of your domain are in the Domain Users group.
If you want all users from one particular OU you will have to create a group for it and the users of that OU.
