Small organizations keep object management simple by having all other objects, such as users, printers, and servers, directly under the Organization object. Organizations that are large enough to have departments or other organizational units usually decide to have their tree structure reflect their organizational structure.

This means that if all of your users reside in the same container, their passwords can be governed by either the AFP or the CIFS policy, but not both. Many organizations prefer to manage their users in a single container like the USERS container you just created, and they need one Universal Password policy that supports all of the services their users need.
