New Feature: Place device in user organization during auto enrollment

I swear this was being implemented for a few days around Spring Break. I remember getting our first shipment of Chromebooks and when I would enroll the devices, it would put the device in the OU that the user (who enrolled it) was in. A few days later, it didn't.

Now, it looks like they have added this as an optional setting--which makes a lot of sense.

How do I get to it?
Go to your Admin Console--Settings/Chrome Management/Device Settings

 

I haven't quite decided how I'm going to handle this, turn it on or off? If I turn it on, it will go into the OU that I have set up for users. For example, if a 12th grader from Jefferson enrolls it, it will go into Students/High School/Jefferson/2013. But I want it to go into Students/High School/Jefferson/Devices.

I can envision making an "enrollment" user account for each school, putting that account into the right OU and then having the media directors use that user account instead of their own, which will put it where I want. it will also be good too, when our vendor gives us the white glvoe treatment and enrolls them for us. We'll give the specific user accounts to enroll with and it will go into the right OU. Nice. Not sure yet. Glad to see this feature though. It wasn't one of my specific Wishes, but it does address my numerous concerns regarding management of devices.
