Service 2 and Service 3 to a particular OU so that I can

IIUC, you want to execute the script for all computers with these 2
services present, right? Unless you have populated this information in
AD, there is now way that AD will know what services run on your servers
- it doesn't do inventory. However,here's an idea:
1) Export all server names in a text file
2) Run a script to check for the presence of the two services:
if Service2 and Service3 exist then
Export server name to file
3) Run a script that iterates through the names in the above file,
searches AD for a matching computer object name, and moves this Computer
object to the new OU. Alternatively, use the list as a reference, search
AD with "Find" and move the objects manually.

For all this you'll find plenty of samples on
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter

You can also use Scriptomatic and ADSI Scriptomatic for additional help.

Start with tip 7823 in the 'Tips & Tricks' at http://www.jsiinc.com

You can modify the script to only output what you want.

You can parse the CSV file with a FOR command and run DSMOVE, tip 7382.

In additional to what has already been suggested you might want to look at
ldifde to take a look at the WIN2000 systems to break them down via SP
level.

However, that is not going to move them for you.

BTW, should have included the ldifde syntax for you:

c:\>ldifde -f notw2ksp4.ldf -s server.yourdomain.com -t 389 -d
"DC=yourdomain,DC=com" -p subtree -r
"(&(objectCategory=computer)(operatingSystem=Windows Professional
2000)(!operatingSystemServicePack=Service Pack 4))"

This will give you the file 'notwin2ksp4.ldf ' of all WIN2000 systems that
are not currently at SP4.

HTH,
