Yes sure do you an example or have one handy that I can look at?

Thanks,

I like to create the computer objects in advance, in the OU's I prefer.
Then, when the machines join the domain, they use the existing object in the
correct OU. Is this possible for you?

Either or but I prefer during the the building process. This is what I
have
so far
Currently sysprep is doing the adding the workstation to the domain part.
I
want to be able to do a runonce and move the workstation from the
"computers"
container to what ever site it is. I'm sure you already know, by default
all
workstation that you add to the domain will first go to the
"Computers"Container.

our Ous are broken down by sites and I would like to move the workstations
base on their prefered site. Also naming convention is site specific...

Thanks,
Jeff

Jeffrey B,

Are you looking to do this during your build process or are you looking
to
accomplish this on workstations that are already in production?

Richard,

Thank you for the reply. Unfortunatly I'm fairly new to these
scripting
methods and don't know how to incorporate the desired destination
OU with
your example.

Hi,

I tested the script below (with a different target OU) and it moved
the
computer the script was run on into the target OU. Watch for line
wrapping:
====================
Option Explicit
Dim objNewOU, objSysInfo, strComputerDN, objMoveComputer

' Bind to target OU, where computer object will be moved.
Set objNewOU = GetObject("LDAP://OU=Sales,dc=MyDomain,dc=com";)

' Determine Distinguished Name of local computer.
Set objSysInfo = CreateObject("ADSystemInfo")
strComputerDN = objSysInfo.ComputerName

' Move this computer object to the target OU.
Set objMoveComputer = objNewOU.MoveHere("LDAP://"; & strComputerDN,
vbNullString)
