An authenticated user, can, by default, add up to 10 workstations to the domain.   1.  I can't find my reference. 2.  Old age has blurred my memory. 3.  I could be very wrong.   However, I did just now check our GPO, and by Gawd, Authenticated users are listed under that policy under User Rights Assigment.  I'm off to go look through the 2K ResKit to see if I can find anything.   Gee, Thanks for my research assignment.  Would you like some Krispy Kremes also?   John Weber Consultant Centerlogic 503-262-0490 x203 -----Original Message----- From: Michael Morisoli [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, June 05, 2002 08:18 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Off Topic: Why can any user add a computer into Win2K Domain I know this is off topic, but since AD and Exchange are so intertwined I thought I would ask this anyway.   For some reason, I have had three separate occasions where normal non-admin users have been able to add the computers into my AD Domain.   I checked the Group Policy Object under; Computer Settings             Windows Settings                         Security Settings                                     Local Policy                                                 User Rights Assignment                                                             Add workstation to domain It shows that only domain admins can add computers to the domain.  If this is correct, how is it that non-admins have been able to add computers to the domain.   Thank you for any help.   Mike   List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm
