Thanks, and yes, I understand and agree...my problem is that the business
has
decided this.

Got any magic fixes?

Thanks Anyways!

Make Sense? Hope so.

Heck no! if I'm an admin (domain admins, administrators, enterprise
admin,
etc) you can deny whatever you want to. It will not work! Why? Because
although I don't have permissions (the DENY) I can change them back so I
do
have access. How? Just by taking over the control! (take ownership and
change permissions again to whatever I want to)

this is like: THINKING you have a metal vault door, but in really it is a
plastic one and very easy to kick it down!

Joe,

I've got one for you. My company is moving the production systems to a
utility computing environment that is hosted at a 3rd party data
center.
The
3rd party will be managing the O/S and hardware for us. One of their
requirements is that we establish a trust to their management domain
and
grant their management group access as members of the Built-in
Administrators
group on the DCs that they will be hosting for the production domains
and
forest. While setting up a resource domain would be the preferred
method,
it
is out of scope for this project.

In an effort to secure the AD, we want to move these DCs and all other
computer objects in to another tree structure so that we can apply a
DENY
for
all permissions.

Make Sense? Hope so.

Jim

It can be done safely but the more important question is why? I have
yet
in 6 years of hundreds of people in lots of companies trying to
convince
me of this to have heard a single good reason for it.

In almost every case it the thought to do this is based on some
misunderstanding on how Domain Security works or some stupid plan to
have a pretty hierarchy.
