Can I put a windows server 2003 Domain Controller in a sub OU within the Domain Controllers OU?

Posted on May 30, 2008 under domain news and reports | 3 Comments

We are installing a windows server 2003 machine and will be puting exchange on it. The machine will be a Domain Controler. We would like to put the machine account in a sub OU within the Domain Controllers OU for the purposes of delegating full control of the machine, without granting Domain or Enterprise admin rights. Will there be any issues with this, and, or is there a better solution?

    You can but you will be sad.

    IMPORTANT: Do not move any domain controller accounts out of the default Domain Controllers OU, even if some administrators log on to them to perform administrative tasks. Moving these accounts will disrupt the consistent application of domain controller policies to all domains, and is not supported.
