I go into the Computers container weekly and clean up the strays with a script, moving them to the right OU.

If you want to be able to create computer accounts in varying OU's then it's something you'll either have to script (such as with netdom /join /ou) or you could pre-create the accounts in the proper OU's. Or you can be stuck doing it manually. :) From: ActiveDir-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ActiveDir-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of P West Sent: Friday, July 22, 2005 1:48 PM To: ActiveDir@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ActiveDir] Redirecting PC's into the proper OU I know you can redirect computer account to a specified OU, using redircomp. But what if you have multiple Ou's and want the pc to be added to the proper OU with some sort of logic. Does this not exist or is this something that would need to be scripted? Am I stuck doing this manually? Thanks P west
