what this is all about trying to automate from the domain configuration the
container into which a computer which is joined to the domain using the
Ghost imaging software which apparently does not seem from the client side
to accept the DN of the target OU - only understands a domain name
as such will be joined to the domain and placed into the "computers" OU
where it won't pick up policy.
i know the sysprep images can be modfied but was exploring possibilities of
tweaking the domain to support this

Is there any way to change using a domain setting the default container
into
which computer account objects are created for a windows 2000 domain. ??
It depends what your reasons are?
i.e. A specific site needs computer objects added... delegate control to a
local support/admin/bod to create computer objects, etc. within the
specific OU... they can then create that computer object in that OU and add
the computer with that name to the domain via the normal method.
all depends on exactly what u r trying to achieve... please elaborate.

Please respond to
ActiveDir
If you don't want to use RIS, the only other way I know is to use a Script
to
precreate the Computer objects FIRST before actually joining them to the
Domain. In the Script you can specify exactly where the object will be
created. You then set ACL on the created object to specify who can do the
actual joining.

Alternatively, if you are using Remote Installation Service to create your
OS(es), you can specify the target location for newly created machines in
your RIS configuration.

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.
