Yes I have scripts and this is pretty easy to do (done it many times), but, the fields you’re looking for don’t really exist. Naming conventions are how I usually key this. If you don’t have that then this is a lot of work. If you want to do site based you could ping the machine and then map the IP to a site. That is pretty easy to do. If you want to do this user based, you need to be precreating the computer accounts with something that can do the logging for you and ideally put the accounts in the right place. The other option is to just leave them. If you’re not getting any value from moving the machines then don’t bother.

I would dearly like something that would report the machines in that container at the end of the day and possibly the user that created it, site it was created in or some such so we could pick them up and move them into the right OU. Before i sit down to script something out has anyone had an experience in this respect and could recommend a solution.
