Automate redirection of users to their associated Organizational units

Hi all,

I would like to know if it's possible to customize Active Directory New user wizard in order to redirect each created user to their associated Organizational unit.

So for instance if user A has principal name A.com, when created the user A will automatically be created under OU A.com
And so on for the rest of users, and if it's not possible to customize User creation, Is it possible for this to be done through GPO?

Thanks

You could also create users with a script. Using New-ADUser you can specify the -Path to place them in the OU you want.

I have developed an application (.NET) that automatically does placement of objects (users and computers) based on Active Directory Sites and Services and OU design.

If it helps, I can share via an article in a few days?

Thanks everyone, I know about powershell but I wanted to know if the wizard can be customized to do so .. the answer is no I guess.

@Shaun I would really appreciate your application.

Rather than write something out I figured I google it and found this gem of a script.
I can help you clean it up, but it would be good for you to try yourself.
