New members and OUs

Hi,

I have Win2K, AD Mixed. Xp Clients. AD is fully organized using a OU
hierarchy. The problem is when we join new computers to domain, the Win2K
always create an object in Computers container. Anyone knows a way to add it
directly to an X OU?

Thanks.
Pedro L.

No way to send it to a different ou. It is burned into the code. There are
ways to do it in 2003 though. I can;t remember right now but since you are
in 2000 it doesn;t matter in this thread.

Thanks Paul. I think I asked this to lots of people and noone give me a
straight answer like this.

In addition, you wrote that is possible to do it in Win 2003 (don't mather
how) and that is very interesting considering that I will migrate our AD to
Win 2003 next month.

Or add the computer account explicitly to the correct
container before trying to "join" it to the domain.

Right-click on an OU or use DSAdd

Try the following:
Use netdom command to add machine to domain
OR
Create an OU
Delegate the rights for the OU to one user account to add machines.
Use the user acount to add machines to domain.(Do not use domain admin
account)
Since the user doesn't have write access Coputers container the machine
account will be created in the desired OU.

Dan
