Well...you create OUs really for a few reasons...make it easier to manage,
create GPOs, delegate authority. There are more reasons but you get the
idea.
Just moving a DC to another OU doesn't do a thing if there are no GPOs. But
watch out if you have configured GPOs because as soon as you place an object
in an OU that contains a GPO, that object takes on that GPO under most
circumstances, which could create undesired effects.
I personally wouldn't move the DCs around unless you have to.
I wouldn't put users and computers in the same OU. Keep them separate...eg:
make a Sales OU, then under there, make Users and Computers. Then configure
GPOs as required at whatever level necessary. The way you configure your OU
structure depends heavily on your organisation though.

Well that's just it, I am not totally sure what it will have an effect on.
But, the positive side is we are only a 35 user company and I am rebuilding
the domain from scratch, so their shouldn't be any hangups. Our new AD
domain has nobody in it yet, I am getting the OU structure in place before
that happens.

Do whatever you like, as long as you understand what effect the moves will
have on resources and objects. Don't move something somewhere just for the
sake of moving something.

I have created our companies OU structure, but I am wondering if
it's a good idea to move the global groups like domain users, domain
controllers, domain admins and domain computers into my OU structure from
the Builtin OU, "USERS", that was created by the system.
Thanks for any input.
