Does anyone know of a method to force/change Active
Directory to install all new computers into another OU
instead of the default Computers container?
 
You can use netdom.exe to have the PC go into a specific OU when it joins
the domain. 266651 Using Netdom 2.0 to Create Computer Accounts on
Admin-Specified Domain http://support.microsoft.com/?id=266651

In Windows 20003 there is a way to do this. The following article axplains
how.

Thanks Guys, I am aware of doing this in a controlled
environment such as netdom or adsi, was trying to find a
way in the "uncontrolled environment" :-).

Glad to see that MS has put this into Win2K3 though.
