Lee,
As I have not gone far down the road you are traveling, aside from
the already mentioned needed change of ownership of the groups
you are aiming to manage in this way the other thing you will need
to test and likely prevent is the defining of Domain Admins as a
restricted group in a GPO with higher priority on the Domain Controllers
OU than the controlling GPO with restricted group def that you control.
