What rights do I need to give to group of users to
create users, exchange mail box,
change group membership(but cannot change domain admin group membership ),
delete users, computers (not server)
Move computers / users between OU's
 
What does the documentation say?
[google]Windows delegate permissions[/google]
[google]exchange delegate permissions[/google]

"How do I.." questions are almost always answered quickly via a search.

This is considered an intelligent forum site. You are expected to do research on your own, and ask questions related to problems.

I have configured delegation but, have couple question on how can I?
allow users to change group membership(but cannot change domain admin group membership ),
and
what permission is required to allow users to move computer and users object between OU's
 
If someone has the ability to edit group membership, they can add/remove any group, including domain admins

they need write access to all related OUs. If you setup your objects in a top-down method, delegate at the top level the appropriate rights.

so there is no way I can restrict non domain admin users making changes to domain admin/ ent adm and administrators group?
 
If you are delegating rights on an OU and the domain admin group does not exist within that OU then you don't have to worry about it because the are/should be only delegated to that one OU, it's top down as mentioned before.

I would get on a test server and play with the delegation rights.
 
Just wanted to add a "gotcha" which I got caught out on once. When you add a user to a group, you're changing both the user & the group - so if you want somebody to be able to add users to a group, you'll need to make sure the operator has the appropriate permissions to those user accounts.

I think 58sniper & Rockstar101 have already answered your other questions.

Good Luck :)

How can a user who is not domain admin (Field Engineers) can join Pc's to domain? I do not want to give add computer rights to field engineer at root level

Do I have other option other than using
redircmp ou=mycomputers,DC=corp,dc=com (Are there any Cons using this command?)
