What I know
is:
If you disjoin a computer you
will get the credentials box asking for credentials to DELETE the computer
account.
If you just click OK without
giving credentials the computer account is disabled and will remain in the
container or OU it resides in
If you give credentials with
permissions to delete the computer account the computer account will be
deleted

Jorge From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Doug Ferguson Sent: Wednesday, August 17, 2005 21:02 To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: [ActiveDir] Joining computers to a 2K3 domain I am very perplexed by this
behavior, so my hope is that some of the more knowledgeable on this list can
shed light. In our Windows 2K3 functional forest (with a root placeholder
domain and two child domains), when a machine is disjoined from the domain (one
of the child domains) it is not removed from the OU it occupied in AD. Its
object is set to disabled, but the computer just stays there (even after weeks
of sitting to see if maybe replication would clear up the object). If we
then rejoin that computer to the domain, its object is re-enabled and the same
SID is given to the object. This has presented many problems, as you can
imagine. In another job I worked, when the computer was disjoined, it
dropped out of AD and then when you rejoined the computer, it dropped into the
built-in Computers OU (as I expected). Is the first behavior I described
normal? If not, what is the remedy to fix this? I have searched high
and low and nobody seems to know what I am talking about.
Any help
