Remember that when you precreate the accounts you should change the permissions on "who can join the computer account to the domain" to give your specific department groups this permission. BTW, I only know how to do this through the create computer account GUI and have not figured out how to script these permissions. Does anyone know how to do this??

I'm constructing an Active Directory environment where I want to delegate administration to departments of their own OUs. I've run into a problem. With Windows 2000, if you try to change the domain the computer belongs to, you can't (or at least I haven't figured out how to) pick an OU within a domain. You can only select the domain and then the computer ends up in the "Computers" container. So it looks to me like I have to give the dept. LAN admins permission to add computers to the domain or the "Computers" container, and once they've done that they can move the computers from there to their own OU. Is that right? Is there a better way? Your counsel will be most appreciated!
