Sorry for the cross-posting as this deals with both groups as it deals with
both groups

I am working on getting SUS working through my domain and would like to
setup two groups to have different policies in them.

Currently all of my computers, including servers, are in the "Computers"
folder in Active Directory and I would like to create two "Orginzational
Units" or "Groups". (In quotes cause I'm not sure the best title for this)
One would be the desktops and would have one SUS GPO applied to them, and
the other group would be servers and have a different GPO setup so I don't
have a ton of traffic when both the desktops and the servers check my SUS
server.

Is this the best way to do it? Or should I be going along a different
route?

Thanks in advance,
