script to move computer from default OU to named OU

hi all,

any one can have any idea how to move computer from default OU to named OU using power shell command .

for example UComputer is the new OU

mostly the script will work on the first letter of the computer name i.e. U for Ucomputer Container , M for MComputer Container

appreciate your help and support .

@Patrick Bogers

thanks for your fast reply , so i need to have three of this for each OU

get-adcomputer computerName | Move-ADObject -TargetPath ‘ou=Ucomputer,dc=domain,dc=net’

where i can put the computer name to specify that it is start with a C or M letter

according to what i understand this script will move the computer based on the full name and what i need to move based on first letter

thanks

Get-ADComputer -Filter {name -like "C*"}

Run this to test if it is desired return. If so append
| Move-ADObject -TargetPath ‘ou=Ucomputer,dc=domain,dc=net’ To it.

Just curious, why not just permanently redirect

redircmp.exe "OU=Our Computers,DC=Domain,DC=com"

https:#a42095427 doesn't move from the default Computer container, and it doesn't support the required "move multiple computers to different OUs based on their names" mapping.

@Shaun:
that won't work in this case, because the target OU needs to be determined dynamically based on the computer name.
