Select an organizational unit for WorkSpaces Personal

Note

This feature is only available for directories managed through AWS Directory Service, including AD Connector, AWS Managed Microsoft AD, and Simple AD.

WorkSpace machine accounts are placed in the default organizational unit (OU) for the WorkSpaces directory. Initially, the machine accounts are placed in the Computers OU of your directory or the directory that your AD Connector is connected to. You can select a different OU from your directory or connected directory, or specify an OU in a separate target domain. Note that you can select only one OU per directory.

After you select a new OU, the machine accounts for all WorkSpaces that are created or rebuilt are placed in the newly selected OU.
