Is there any impact of moving exchange servers (2 of them) and the Cluster Name Object to a different OU in the same domain?
Please advise.

Thank you,

    None. Should be fine.
    If you see any weird events in the logs, reboot the server but you really shouldnt have to.
    Just make sure the new OU doesnt have any weird denies or GPOs.

    Hi @Catherine Jaszewski ，

    Agree with Andy that there would be no problems moving Exchange servers to a different OU.

    Here's a relevant link where some users had shared their expereince in moving Exchange servers to different OU and no issues were encountered:
