Move a Computer Object to another Organizational Unit (OU) using DSMove

I’m currently configuring HP Rapid Deployment Pack (RDP) and needed a way to automatically move a Computer object in a specific Organizational Unit(OU).

My logic is based on the Server name itself.

As an example we use the following naming convention:

Server Name: MTL1ASTT01

• MTL is the city name
• 1 is the site number
• A for application
• STT custom info
• 01 number of the server

On the Active Directory side, we organize the servers (computer objects) this way:

DOMAIN.local > GLOBAL > %SITENAME% > SERVERS

So if want to get the SITENAME and the SITENUMBER from the SERVERNAME i would use the code below, it will select

echo. Getting Sitename from the Computer name ...
Set SITENAME=%COMPUTERNAME%:0,4%
echo. SITENAME is %SITENAME%
dsmove "CN=%COMPUTERNAME%,OU=COMPUTERS,DC=DOMAIN,DC=LOCAL" -newparent OU=Servers,OU=%SITENAME%,OU=GLOBAL,DC=DOMAIN,DC=LOCAL
