Help adding PC's to a specific OU via Post Install Task (vb script)
I am adding PC's to the domain as a Post Install Task Using K2000. The default script does allows you to put a line of custom code which seems to integrate into the VBScript pre-uploaded by Dell/Quest. The single line of code they want you to edit is "cscript join_domain.vbs [DOMAIN] [USERNAME] [PASSWORD] [DNS Server IP] This works without issue however I am wanting to add it to a specific OU and the default VB script just adds it to the COMPUTERS OU. Can someone show me where to input the string for my specific OU? The VBScript from Kace 2000 is below.
Const JOIN_DOMAIN = 1
Const ACCT_CREATE = 2
Const ACCT_DELETE = 4
Const WIN9X_UPGRADE = 16
Const DOMAIN_JOIN_IF_JOINED = 32
Const JOIN_UNSECURE = 64
Const MACHINE_PASSWORD_PASSED = 128
Const DEFERRED_SPN_SET = 256
Const INSTALL_INVOCATION = 262144
If WScript.Arguments.Count < 3 or WScript.Arguments.Count > 4 Then
' Duff arguments so return non zero so the task is marked as failed.
WScript.Quit(1)
Else
strDomain = WScript.Arguments.Item(0)
strUser = WScript.Arguments.Item(1)
strPassword = WScript.Arguments.Item(2)
'set DNS IP address
If WScript.Arguments.Count = 4 Then
strDNSIP = WScript.Arguments.Item(3)
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.shell")
objShell.Run "netsh int ip set dns ""local area connection"" static " & _
strDNSIP &" primary", 0 , 0
End If
End If
Set objNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
strComputer = objNetwork.ComputerName
Set objComputer = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=Impersonate}!\\" & _
strComputer & _
"\root\cimv2:Win32_ComputerSystem.Name='" _
& strComputer & "'")
ReturnValue = objComputer.JoinDomainOrWorkGroup(strDomain, _
strPassword, _
strDomain & "\" & strUser, _
NULL, _
JOIN_DOMAIN+ACCT_CREATE)
' Error code 2691 means the machine was already joined to the domain, so not quite an error
If ReturnValue = 2691 Then ReturnValue = 0
WScript.Quit(ReturnValue)

I believe this one works too,
https://support.quest.com/kb/155655/sda-join-domain-power-shell-script-for-when-machine-record-already-exists
It's done via Powershell, and it has a line to specify the target OU.
how would I implement this into Kace? will kace2k let me add a powershell script and it run this as a post install task?
We also do it with a powershell script as a post installation task. Our script looks like this:
$domain = "your.domain"
$password = "YourPassword" | ConvertTo-SecureString -asPlainText -Force
$username = "$domain\YourUser"
$credential = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential($username,$password)
$ouPath="YourOUPath"
add-computer -Credential $credential -DomainName $domain -OUPath $ouPath
Save this code with your domain and user information with permissions to join domain as a powershell. Afterwards you can upload the powershell as post install task like this:
