Check out the netdom utility. With that command line util you can join a computer to the domain and place it in the proper OU right from the start so I would have the techs use that utility to join the machines instead of just adding them and moving them manually to the proper OU.
If you follow a naming standard and can tell what machines need to be in what OU based on the machine name then you could use a script running as a scheduled task to move the machines from the Computers container to the proper OU.
