I’ve posted the install file for this web part here (Click
to download)

Here is the source (Click

Important Notes:

  1. This download is provided as sample code, use it at your own risk.
  2. The user name and password should be sql authentication (I have not tested Windows
    Authentication)
  3. The password is stored and displayed as plain text at the moment. I am researching
    this but keep it in mind if you deploy this in production. Any user who has rights
    to modify the web part will be able to see the connection string. It is strongly recommended
    you use a user account and password with only read rights.

are stored in an OU named Accounts. All user account names and computer names are
first initial last name, like rwhitworth. The resources OU is broken down into department
ous, and we wanted to do the same with the resources OU, but we realized this was
going to be a lot of work. Any time we moved a user account into a different department,
or any time a new computer was added, we would have to manually move the users computer
to the correct ou. In addition, we wanted to see how many of our users had matching
computer account names since this tends to get out of sync over time.

So here is what the app does:

  1. Scans the source ou (user account ou) collecting all computer names and sub ou names.
  2. Scans the destination ou (computer account ou) and creates appropriate sub ou’s if
    they do not exist.
  3. Moves computer accounts that have a matching user account into the appropriate sub
    ou
  4. If the check box for orphaned ous is checked, computer accounts in the destination
    ou that do not have a matching user account will be moved to a specified orphaned
    ou.
  5. If the simulate moves box is checked, the destination ou structure will still be synchronized
    (new sub ou’s created) but computer accounts will not actually be moved. YOU SHOULD
    DEFINITELY run this the first time in simulation mode to see what would have happened.

DISCLAIMER: If you do not know what you are doing you could quickly move a lot of
computer accounts in your active directory structure. This app is being provided free
of charge. Anything you do with it you do at your own risk. I have tested it in our
environment which has about 1000 user objects and 1000 computer objects and I have
had no problems. But you should test it if you plan to use it.

I plan to eventually publish the source code for it but for now I’m just putting the
setup program here.(Click
