powershell script to move pc to a ou

Here is a script if you want to move an object to a ou where another server is located

 you can double click the bat file and that will start the powershell script.

I made this to automate a process

Bat:

PowerShell.exe -File c:\users\user1\desktop\moveobj.ps1

Ps1

Add-PSSnapin Quest.ActiveRoles.ADManagement

Connect-QADService -service 250-ad

Move-QADObject   -NewParentContainer (get-qadcomputer pc1).parentcontainer

*

To use: get the powershell commandlets from quest. It is possible without them but requires a lot more effort.

PowerShell.exe -File c:\users\user1\desktop\moveobj.ps1

The reason I added this line rather than .\moveobj.ps1 was because it was opening the ps1 in notepad. This way it forces the ps1 to load in powershell.

Add-PSSnapin Quest.ActiveRoles.ADManagement

Loads the powershell admanagement from quest into powershell. Otherwise the commands wont work.

Connect-QADService -service 250-ad

Forces  a connection to a particualr dc. Example if you are in ny and wanted to conenct to a cali DC

Move-QADObject   objectname  -NewParentContainer (get-qadcomputer pc1).parentcontainer

Moves object  objectname to the  ou where pc1 is loacted. you could also just add the path of the ou.

If you leave out objectname, a prompt will come up
