Hello,
When I have my computer accounts in the default "Computer" OU, RIS
works perfectly. However, if I try to run RIS on a machine that has
been moved to a new OU, and which I would like to stay in that OU, I
get an error that that account does not have permission to create or
modify a computer account. Best I can figure is that it might be
trying to move the machine account back into the "Computers" OU, but
even if it was, I certainly have the permissions needed to do that.

Is there anyway to re-RIS a machine that is in a different OU without
having to move it back, run the CIW, then move it again?

Is there some sort of permission I need to set on the OU, or some way
to tell RIS to leave the computer account where it is if one already
exists?

Thanks,
-Jeff
