Creating an Organisational Unit
An Organisational Unit is a container in which you can store computer or user objects.
To Create an OU find that location in Users and Computers that you want to place a new OU, click 'Add New' and then 'Organisational Unit'. For example a new intake of students would be created under the Students OU.

You will then see the OU Details window where you can enter the name of the OU and a description.

The 'Protect container from accidental deletion' when checked prevents accidental deletion of the OU and all of the objects contained within. To disable it, you have to go into the properties of the OU by right clicking it and un-ticking the box before trying again to delete it.
The User Template tab is where you create a template that governs the way that all users under the OU are created.
