Hi, You can use the following steps to grant a group to control the two OUs. Then, members in this group could move computer objects between these two OUs. 1. In ADUC, right click the first OU and select Delegate Control. 2. Add the group you want. 3. Select the "Create a custom task to delegate" option and click Next. 4. Select "Only the following objects in the folder". 5. Check the box before "Computer objects" in the list. 6. Check the box before "Create selected objects in this folder" and "Delete selected objects in this folder". Click Next. 7. Check the box for "Write". 8. Click Next and Finish. 9. Perform the same steps on another OU. After that, members in the group could move computer objects between these two OUs. If anything is unclear, please let me know. Regards, Bruce

Hi Bruce, I want to delegate control for users instead of computers, and OUs are inform of Sub-OU. so this solution is not working for me, can you give me any idea. thanks

Correct me if I am wrong but I believe you would use "Use Objects".
