Specifying where in AD new computer accounts go 1

[PhilKGH]

When joining a new computer to the domain, it automatically goes in the "Computers" folder. However, I have an OU into which I put all the computers, and to which I have several GPOs attached.

Is there a way to specify that new computers automatically go to this OU rather than to the computers folder?

The domain is currently in 2000 mixed mode.

Regards,
Phil.

Please check this MS KB:

You should be running Windows Server 2003 domain functional level to achieve this.

Tried it in a test environment. Works fine.

Thanks for your reply.
