I went with putting a group into the default domain GPO that was able to add
machines.  I did that originally because I had been told that the office
manager needed to add machines as they arrived.  Shortly after that I
management told me never mind the office manager did not want the extra
work.  Left the group in there and only put the two non-admin user id's of
us that would be adding machines into it.  We had DA status but when moving
machines around the office we used our regular accounts.  These were usually
stored machines that were way out of production kept for emergencies.
