I don't believe there is an easy way to do this in Windows 2000 AD. The following article explains how to do this in Windows Server 2003 AD.
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;[LN];324949 At the end of the article it shows where the wellKnownObjects attribute of the domainDNS object for the domain can be modified. You might be able to do this modification manually in Windows 2000 AD using LDP or ADSIEdit. You would need to replace the value for the default computers location, i.e. B:32:AA312825768811D1ADED00C04FD8D5CD:CN=Computers,DC=domain,DC=com; with, for example.... B:32:AA312825768811D1ADED00C04FD8D5CD:OU=Workstations,DC=domain,DC=com; I haven't tried this and it's probably unsupported! So don't take my word for it. Give it a go in your test lab if you want and let us know how you get on.
