I have inherited a network that was run by 5 different Net Admins in
the last
year.
There are many changes in the default domain policy, and I suspect
that it
may be causing problems with my (60+) servers.
I want to revert to the default policy, for both the domain
controllers, and member servers, by moving the servers into their own
OU, denying any policys to them, and applying only the default domain
controller policy policys to the domain controllers, and default
domain policy to the member servers to establish a baseline.

My plan is to copy the current default policies to a new name, run the
revert process, and quickly rename new default policies to a new name,
and rename the saved copies back to the default names. I hope to be
able to evaluate the differences, and create GPO's that address what I
need to change, apply them to the user OU's, while being able to apply
the reverted copies to the server and domain controller OU's.

Does this seem feasible?
Am I missing something?
Is there an easier / safer way?
I am trying not to impact the 500 users that may/or may not boot
during this process.
