Rights needed to move computer objects between OUs

**Charlie R** · 14-09-2008

I need some help here for a small problem I am facing. I need some help to move my computer object. I want to move this out of the default computer container and then into other OU. There are many OU available. I want to move the computer between them so that I can simply jump from one place to another. I am not able to find out the actual rights that can allow me to do the same.

For that you have to provide a right to create the object. That should in the form of destination container or ou. You must be allowed to delete the same. You can simply assign, delete or create different computer accounts. Also you can simple create ou that can be managed by admin and then assign them to the computer. You will need a manual guide for the same. That offers a more detail steps.

It is possible to join to a OU directly. For that you have to use the following stuff:

Code:

NETDOM JOIN machine /Domain:domain [/OU:ou path] [/UserD:user]
[/PasswordD:[password | *]]
[UserO:user] [/PasswordO:[password | *]]
[/REBoot[:Time in seconds]]

Here /OU is the unit where you create the machine account.
