Move Computers

As organizations evolve, so does the structure of their Active Directory (AD). Moving computer accounts between Organizational Units (OUs) is a common but often tedious task, essential for applying the correct Group Policies and maintaining an organized AD. ADManager Plus simplifies this process by allowing you to move AD computer accounts in bulk, ensuring your AD structure is always up-to-date with minimal effort.

Procedure:

First, select the OU to which you want to move the computers. Then, select the list of computers that need to be moved by either importing a CSV file or by using the search option, and finally click on apply.

Steps:

• Click AD Mgmt tab → Computer Management → Move Computers
• Click the + icon and select the container to which you want to move the computers.
• From the drop down menu, select the domain in which the computers are located (Note: If you know the OU in which the computers are located, click the add OUs button and select the appropriate OU)
• You can now use one of the following options to list the computers that have to be moved to a different OU.
  • You can import the CSV file (sample CSV file) which contains the list of computers. On importing the CSV file, from the drop down menu (on the right hand side), select the LDAP attribute based on which you want to search the objects in Active directory.

  OR
