Hey everyone! I recently set up a new Active Directory in Windows Server 2016 with around 300 users. I've organized my OUs (Organizational Units) in a hierarchy under the main domain and now I'm looking to create a new OU to contain all of the existing ones. My goal is to apply some group policies across all OUs, except for the domain controller. I'm a bit worried about the potential consequences of moving these OUs. Specifically, will moving OUs with their users and groups into a new one cause any issues? Thanks for your help!

You can just uncheck the box that prevents accidental moves or deletions and go ahead with the move. The main thing you might mess up are LDAP queries that pinpoint specific locations, but if you're not using those, you should be fine!
I’m only using simple policies for mapping devices and creating shortcuts. The global policies would handle adding multiple keyboard languages and some Edge settings, so nothing too complex.
