Move Computer Account in AD from BootCD

[lee-bowman]

Hello there,

 

We are currently deploying Windows 7 in our domain environment fairly smoothly using the Run Advertised Programs for OSD and also the BootCD (until PXE Booting is available)

 

In our TS we move an existing computer account into our Build OU which has limited GPOs and then at the end the Computer account is moved to the standard OU. The moving of the Existing account works nicely when the Task Sequence is started from the Run Advertised Programs but does not work when from the BootCD and in WinPE.

 

I believe it is related to WinPE not having the ability to contact AD and that ADSI tools are required but unfortunately I do not know what scripts or methods will actually be able to move the Computer Account.

 

Any advise is greatly appreciated

So at the end of your task sequence could you run a script to move the computer account from OU1 to OU2? Run it using the credentials for the domain account you use in the task sequence's Apply Network Settings section.
