Re: Moving workstations/servers OU to OU

Or why not go with the new?
Learn Powershell.. With the Quest ActiveRoles AD cmdlets it's as easy as:

Get-QADComputer -Searchroot 'CN=computers,DC=Example,DC=Com' | where {($_.name -match "NN*")} | Move-QADObject -NewParentContainer 'OU=NN_OU,DC=Example,DC=Com'

Hi
Check at Technet script center, they have many sample scripts that do similar process, you just need to adapt them to your needs.

In AD, when you add a computer or server to the domain, it goes to the
Computers OU. I would like to set up a script (on the domain
controller) that would run every now and then (possibly every hour)
that would look to see if there is any new workstations in the
Computers OU and if there is, look at the first two letters of the
workstation. If it's equal to YH then, put it in the YH OU, if equal to
NN then put in the NN OU and so on.

Does anybody have something similar?
