I totally concur, that is a power play by the Enterprise Admins, you can delegate rights to the OU to allow others to move there users to there own OU's and manage them accordingly.
I have more than 15K in users and that is how its done here.. Z Edward E.

Most MORG/LORGs use OU and delegate rights specifically for the reasons you mention. (And others.) Regards, Michael B.

During that design it was decided that all user objects should reside in a single flat OU and that only a few select domain admins would have any rights to that OU. This means we cannot apply any Preferences to the user object. (Policies can operate in a LoopBack processing model.) We have asked that our Enterprise Domain change this to allow user objects to reside in other OU locations, but they tell us that 'every large scale domain' is done this way and that to do otherwise would be 'unheard of.' Is this true? Is there 'no way' to effectively move user objects to other AD locations to allow OU Admins the ability to apply user preferences? Is there another way to apply user preferences? We have just over 15,000 user objects. ~ NEW: CounterSpy Enterprise: Centralized Antispyware - #1 in eWEEK Test! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/product.cfm?id=400> ~ ~ NEW: CounterSpy Enterprise: Centralized Antispyware - #1 in eWEEK Test! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/product.cfm?id=400> ~ ~ NEW: CounterSpy Enterprise: Centralized Antispyware - #1 in eWEEK Test! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/product.cfm?id=400> ~
