Redirects the default container for newly created computers to a specified, target organizational unit (OU) so that newly created computer objects are created in the specific target OU instead of in CN=Computers.
You must run the redircmp command from an elevated command prompt. To open an elevated command prompt, click Start, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator.
“redircmp ou=mifcomputers,dc=farooklab,dc=local”
Note:
- Redircmp.exe is located in the C:\Windows\System32 folder.
- You must be a member of the Domain Admins group or the Enterprise Admins group to use this tool.
- The domain functional level must be Windows Server 2003 or Windows Server 2008.
- Objects in the default containers are more difficult to manage because Group Policy cannot be applied directly to them. You can use the redircmp command to redirect computer objects to an OU container that can have Group Policy applied directly to it.
