    Hi,

    It's not possible use a GPO to move a computer account to another OU.
    Below some options you can use to move the computer account to the right OU:

    • You can powershell script to move the computer account to right OU after the domain join
    • Create computer account before joining the machine to domain
    • Specify the right OU when you join the machine to domain : Add-Computer -DomainName "DomainName" -OUPath "OU=ServerOU,DC=domain,DC=Domain,DC=com"
