DC's in various time zones and how to update

Hello Folks,

I have a question.  Say you have 2 DC's in SF, 2DC's in NY, 2DC's in Australia, 2DC's in China and you want to update each DC in its own time zone at midnight.  Each site will have its own WSUS.

You are in the SF office and that is where AD lives and it lists all the DC's for all sites around the world in the "Domain Controllers" OU And you want SF to run it's updates at midnight SF on just the SF DC's. In other words, each global site will need to run their updates at a different time zone.

Do you need to create and OU for SF and move the SF DC's into that OU and then create a GPO for that OU to achieve this? I hate creating more OU's and then having to move the SF DC's out of the main "Domain Controllers" OU to the SF OU if I can avoid it, not to mention having to see what other GPO's are (hopefully not) assigned to the "Domain Controllers" OU as a whole.

And then having to create OU's for each global site and do the same thing with creating OU's, GPO's, etc., for each site.

Many thanks for your help! :-)
