RE: [ActiveDir] default containers

Title: default containers

Of course if you have a Windows 2003 Domain Mode domain you could use the redircmp hack.  Note that Exchange 2000 domainprep (and who knows what else) expect some objects to be created in the “native” default locations (I think groups in the case of E2K).  Most of the time you can work around any problems the redircmp or redirusr hacks may cause….   -Aric   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bernard, Aric Sent: Thursday, August 05, 2004 8:36 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] default containers   I don’t think there is anyway to change the default location when adding a computer through the joining computers GUI.  If you are using a tool, most of them offer the ability to specify an alternate location.  You could of course pre-create machine accounts in the OU you want them to be placed in.  Alternately, you could write a script that utilizes WMI, for example, that monitors the computers container and moves objects after they are created to your selected destination.   -Aric   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Creamer, Mark Sent: Thursday, August 05, 2004 8:21 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ActiveDir] default containers   Is there a way to change the default location for a computer when it gets added to the domain to be a specific OU, rather than the Computers container? Or would this have to be done by scripting the add computer process? Mark Creamer
