This is the way I have done it since 2000 and is one way and is an
example.....

To add computers to the domain and in the Computers container (if you would
like other to add computer OU's repeat the delegation process)

Run dsa.msc (Active Directory Users and Computers)
Create an Account called joindomain (or what ever account you wish to use)
Right Click the computers container
Select Delegate Control
Add the JoinDomain Account
Select Next
Select Create a Custom Task to Delegate.
Select Next
Select This Folder, existing objects..........
Select Creation/Deletion of specific child objects
Tick Create Computer Objects
Tick Delete Computer Objects
Select Next
Select Finish

Right Click the computers container
Select Delegate Control
Add the JoinDomain Account (or what ever account you wish to use)
Select Only the following objects in the folder
Tick Computer Ojects
Select Next
Tick Full Control
Select Next
Select Finish
