Keep in mind people who move about from location to location. Also keep in mind what do you do with machines that don't have a host name that can be looked up for some reason or are in an IP you aren't expecting. I can understand where someone would do this. Say you originally didn't have a clean site structure for where machines went for admin organization and you all of a sudden want to do so. Like say for instance you walk into a location that gave all admins the ability to create machines in computers and then someone realized that gave all admins rights on all machines and now they want to break them up to delegated OUs with good controls... Etc etc. joe -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tony Murray Sent: Monday, June 21, 2004 7:41 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [ActiveDir] PC move I don't know of any easy way to do this. As the IP address information is not stored in AD, I guess you would need to do this with a script (probably using WMI) to directly query each machine who's object is in the first OU and then perform the move using ADSI based on the retrieved IP address information. If the PCs get their IP allocated by DCHP then you'd have to derive the IP information from the DHCP server(s). I can't think of a good reason why you would want to do this in the first place? Typically you create OUs for delegation of administration and/or Group Policy application. If you're doing this for GPO purposes you could consider defining separate sites based on the IP subnets and then applying Site GPOs.
