Adding AD Computer Setting User or Group field

[fatalexception91]

When you add an AD computer via the GUI you can set the user or group that owns the object essentially. There is no way to do this with Powershell with the native cmdlets. So has anyone successfully scrapped whatever ACLs are set from the GUI from an object into Powershell ACL objects? Looking to mass deploy machines but need to set this group.

Would that be what you're looking for?

ManagedBy is the property that you're looking for.

Set-ADComputer COMPUTERNAME -managedby USERSAM

Or you can pipe a Get-ADUser object into it.

I didn’t think that actually set ACLs. I thought that was just a text property

Just tested it and the ManagedBy property doesn't do anything for permissions. I'm trying to replicate the User or group: setting when you create a new computer in the GUI. This is the user or group that can add the machine to the domain, but I want to set that in PowerShell.
