Moving a Computer Within the Same Domain

Moving a Computer Within the Same Domain

This topic explains how to use the Active Directory module for Windows PowerShell to move a computer within the same domain.

Example

The following example demonstrates how to move the computer Fabrikam1 to the organizational unit (OU) ManagedComputers in the Fabrikam.com domain:
Get-ADComputer Fabrikam1 | Move-ADObject -TargetPath 'OU=ManagedComputers,DC=Fabrikam,DC=com'

Additional information

In addition to the standard Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) attributes, you can retrieve the following extended properties of the Get-ADComputer cmdlet by using the -Properties parameter:

• IPv4Address
  
• IPv6Address
  
• EmailAddress
  
• ServiceAccount
  

For a full explanation of the parameters that you can pass to Get-ADComputer or Move-ADObject, at the Active Directory module command prompt, type Get-Help Get-ADComputer –detailed or Get-Help Move-ADObject –detailed, and then press ENTER.
