Policy script for New computer accounts

We have been running a policy script to create new users for ever :).

The business wants to create random computer names for pre-created computer objects, easy enough in in PowerShell with a uniqueness check.

However using a onprecreate event handler, we get a system violation stating the property is owned by system when we attempt to set the CN. "encountered an error when creating the object 'cn=L538784,OU=Laptop,OU=Quest Test Objects,DC=corp,DC=test,DC=com'. The attribute cannot be modified because it is owned by the system. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800720B1)"

Ideally I would like the policy would  pre populate the computer name when the agent selects new computer of selected OU's.

the original user object script had a policy marker, function onGetPolicyMarker=EDS_APE_TYPE_UNIQUE_NAME

Is there an equivalent for PowerShell and computer objects ?

Thanks,

Parents

    This is an old post be we are currently having a similar issue. However, this solution appears to be specific to creating objects via the UI. We are creating hosts via SOAP/SPML web requests.

    We would like to have ARS generate a valid computer name based on scripted logic. However, we are unable to change the computer object CN via the onPreCreate event handler. Is there an alternative event handler in which we can accomplish the name generation before the object is created?
