I have new computer, need to join my OU, with all of my
group policies.
Click to expand...

Rt-click on the computer account where ever it is currently located, select
MOVE, and select the OU you want to move it to.

I'm not sure that I follow what you need to do. Do you need to join
a computer to the domain, move it to a specific OU where you have
your Group Policies or both?

You can join the domain normally and then right click on the computer
object and select Move to move it to the specific OU.

If you are trying the have the computer account created in a specific OU
when you join the domain you can use netdom.exe with the /ou switch. For

Hello.

Another option is to simply pre-create the computer account in the OU. When
the client joins the domain, it will use this pre-created account.
