I have Windows 2003 and need to allow some non-admins to join computers to the domain and rename existing computers. What are the permissions they need and can I assign them on an OU??

You can control the rights to join computer to the domain through policies. The object is in the Computer Configuration/Windows Settings/Security Settings/User Rights Assignment folder. You can give permission here to specific user accounts or groups to add workstations to the domain. As far as changing workstation names, this would have to be done by logging on locally to the workstation with a user logon with administrative rights to that workstation. I don't know of any policy that could be used to control this domain-wide.

Hope this helps!
