To move a computer from one OU to another I would recommend using dsmove Do a dsmove computer /? To get the syntax etc.
Generally it would look like: Dsmove computer "CN=computerName,ou=oldou,dc=domain,dc=com" -newparent ou=newou,dc=domain,dc=com Phil -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Stuart, Cory G.

I'm probably going to have some people help me and I want to make it as easy for them as I can. I'm planning on giving them a CD with batch files to do all of the work for them. I'm familiar with using netdom to join systems to the domain, but I'm looking for the command line tool to move the system around within AD OUs. For example, before putting the machine into its "permanent" OU, I may want to put it into a software OU so that certain packages will be installed first. So what command line tool(s) would you recommend for this. I really appreciate your help!!!
