Move W2K3 server to it's own OU seperate from SBS (MyBusiness) OU



I am running SBS 2003 Premium SP1. I've also got a W2K3 Standard SP1 server
that is part of the SBS domain. I need to install an application that
requires a non administrative "local" account and given the right to "log on
as a service" on the local machine.
Well my issue is that because the W2K3 server is in the SBS MyBusiness OU it
inherits the GPO from the SBS server and of course we all know that I cannot
add a local machine account to allow it to "log on as a service". I also
cannot edit or add a local machine account to the local policies. OK not a
problem I said. I'll just create a new OU and move the W2K3 server there
which I did. My problem is that I still cannot add or edit the "log on as a
service" on the local machine. It appears to still be inheriting it's
policies from the SBS server. I think my problem is that I may have created
the new OU at the wrong level of the forest. The SBS "MyBusiness" OU resides
on the tree under domain.local which is the same level where I create this
new OU and moved the W2K3 server to. I want to be able to control local
policies on the W2K3 server. Did I create the OU at the wrong level of my
forest tree?
