Domain Functional Level: Win Server 2003<br />

I'm trying to exclude my servers from my (very simple) Windows Update GPO. &nbsp;(I don't want them to auto-restart at 3am.) &nbsp;The easiest solution seems to be to assign the GPO to specific Organizational Units, as I do with all my other GPOs. &nbsp;However, I am now realizing that not all my OUs available in Active Directory show up in Group Policy. &nbsp;Specifically, my &quot;Computers&quot; OU is not there. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Can I rectify this? ...if not, any suggestions for how to separate my servers from my workstations so that I can assign my Windows Update GPO accordingly?<br />
Thanks!
