Hello,
Sorry if this sounds stupuid but I need to be able to have the same computer in more than one OU? Is this possible? At the moment I can't seem to make this happen. There are computer policies I will need to be implemented to certain pc's that I don't want on others but still sharing certain policies in other places!!?
I am running AD2000.

You can't have one objext in different OU - but You can link GPO object from one OU to other, and You can place ACls on the GPO to prevent it from applying to some objects.

But for You I will have following suggestion:
- place this computers which shuld be affected by two GPOs in separated OU (ex. Spec) , all other computers in different OU ( ex. Ordinary)
- configure GPO on both OUs
- link GPO from OU with standard PCs to the OU with special PCs
