Windows Server - Adding computers to domain
Asked By Nik
03-Nov-09 04:05 PM
Guys,
I know I can use the redircomp command to redirect where computers go when
they are first added to the domain. My question is. Is there a way I can
say, for example if a user is in the Admin, OU or Engineering OU, when I add
that user can I go ahead and add that computer to the OU I require at that
time. I know by default all computers go into the Computers Container ????

Hello Nik" nik,
Your question is not clear for me. Adding computers to the domain does not
have anything to with the OU where the user account is located.
If you have the need for moving the computers to another OU you have to use
redircomp as already stated from you or move them manual.
Best regards

The default location for addition of new user or computer objects can be
altered. The link below details what steps are required to redirect the
default locations.
