I am going to give the same advice everyone else did but want to restate it
because it is that important.

Keep the DC in the domain controllers OU. If you truly want that GPO applied
to your DC you can link it to that OU.

Do NOT automatically update your DC. Changes to DCs should be strictly
controlled and your hand should be on the trigger each and every time. The
bluescreening of a DC is not the same as the bluescreening of a member
server or workstation in many companies. DCs tend to have far more computers
and people dependent on them than any other system on your network. They
need to stay up and need to remain in a very well known state at all times.

Subject: [ActiveDir] moving DC

Hi

I have created a new OU (name:sus clients) in my AD and moved all my
computers there to setup a grp policy which gets the updates from the SUS
server loaded in my DC.

Everything goes well. But, one computer that has been left is my DC computer
under ou "DomainController".
Can I move this computer also to the other OU? Would that affect?

On the other hand, I could apply the same policy to the ou in question, but,
I wanted to maintain only one OU for this purpose.

Also, once I move the DC to this OU, my DC would also be applied of all
patches.

Thanks
Md ILyas
