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.
