Can’t move OU in the same domain

When trying to move or delete an OU in AD you get the error of “Windows cannot move object because: access is denied

To solve this issue:

  • Open AD Users and Computer mmc.
  • Enable Advanced Features.
  • Go to the OU properties.
  • Remove the “v” from Protect object from accidental deletion option.
