Does this[^] article help? There's a bit in there about moving an object from one location to another that might be of interest.

I've seen that article before. I think their solution was to rename the OU if I remember correctly. I'm hoping that there is a solution using system.directoryservices.accountmanagement instead of using directory entry.

Thanks

It uses DirectoryEntry.MoveTo.

Yep..It appears that you can't do this with the accountmanagement namespace. Only with the older directoryservices. I love it when MS do this, they always stop 90% of the way.

Thanks
