What is the primary function of organizational units (OUs) in a network directory service?
Grouping users and resources to manage permissions and policies
Establishing physical access controls for users
Encrypting sensitive data within the network
Storing backup copies of user data
Grouping users and resources to manage permissions and policies - This is correct. Organizational Units (OUs) in a network directory service, such as Active Directory, are used to organize users, groups, computers, and other resources. This organization simplifies the management of permissions, policies, and administrative tasks, allowing for group-based policy enforcement and delegation of administrative authority.
Encrypting sensitive data within the network - Encryption of sensitive data is not the function of OUs. Encryption is typically handled by technologies like BitLocker or encryption protocols, independent of the directory structure.
Storing backup copies of user data - Backup storage is not related to OUs. Backups are managed by backup software or services, not by the organizational structure within a directory service.
Establishing physical access controls for users - Physical access control is managed by systems such as keycard or biometric readers and is unrelated to the logical structure of OUs in a directory service.
