Brent, "Computers" isn't a container in AD - it's a folder and therefore can't have a policy applied to it. The only policy that will apply to "Computers" is the default domain policy so it doesn't matter where you move your Exchange server the default domain policy will still be applied unless you block policy inheritance on the OU you put the Exchange servers into, but then you must re-apply all the required policy objects on the new OU. Yes you can move servers to any OU you like but you must make sure the right policies are being applied.
