Problem
Error
“You do not have sufficient privileges to delete {OU Name}, or this object is protected from accidental deletion”
Cause
In Windows domains you have the option to prevent an OU from accidental deletion so that even a Domain/Enterprise admin cannot delete it. That’s fine until you need to delete one.
Solution
To delete a protected OU
1. On the the Server (with administrative privileges).
2. Start > Run > dsa.msc {enter}
3. View > Advanced Features.
4. Right Click the OU > Properties > Object Tab.
5. Un-tick “Protect this object from accidental deletion”.
