Moving VM to correspond to Department?
My environment runs VMware ESXi and is broken into sections/departments. In the past, when a user changed departments in windows environment, the workstation is moved to that department’s workstation OU. Now that we running VMware environment, is it necessary to move the VM when a user change departments to correspond to the new department?

I'm more interested whether I should move the vm into different server or datastore as (bgoering) wrote above. There are about 5000 users as whole which are break down into departments. The biggest department is around 250 and the smallest department has about 20 users. All users run windows 7 desktop. Please let me know if you need more information

These are users of workstation. They need access to connect CDROM, they cannot turn on and shutdown vm from the vSphere client.

Do you have VMware view (the VDI product)?
250 virtual desktops is a lot to manage manually without VMware View.

VMware
VMware, a software company founded in 1998, was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies. VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture. Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
