This is where a provisioning system is much needed. Put a few lines of vbscript together and use it to "pre-create" the computer account BEFORE you manually join it to the domain. Put a logic in the vbscript that creates the computer account in the desired OU. When that computer is then manually joined to the domain, it will remain in the OU where it had been precreated. You can put an asp page in front of the vbscript, require authentication for the web site and when someone uses the tool, grab the user's login information, find the person's site or OU and create the computer account based on that information. You can even let the person specify the OU they want. My point is that you want to use a provisioning system that has some logic in it to precreate the computer account. Sincerely,
