How to put new machines into certain OU of active directory


Forum|alt.badge.img+6

We have a directory binding that puts new machines into the "Computers" OU of our active directory. We have a "OSX" folder in the "Computers" OU that we used to have to move newly binded machines into. Is there a way to change the directory bindings in JAMF Pro to have then be put in the "OSX" folder when they are binded to the domain?

@cnixon14 you can specify the OU path in Directory Binding. In your JSS Go to Settings - Computer Management - Directory Binding. In the Computer OU Field you can specify the OU details.

Just be sure the service account you're using to bind has the necessary rights to create a computer in the OU you want. In my previous org the AD admin would only allow creating a computer in the top level Computers OU, and they had a script to move the computers after creation based on the device name.
