RE: [ActiveDir] AD computer accounts being removed

Brenda,
 
FWIW:  It happens to me when I clone a workstation then try to join that workstation to the domain in order to change the computer name.  AD sees 2 machines with the same name, gives me a notification and lets the 2nd one in.  Then when the original machine with that name logs in next time, it isn't seen on the network.  Then I have to do the same thing you did - with the original machine.  Then all is well again.  Don't know if that will help, but it might narrow down the problem some.

Yes, their computer account in AD is actually gone.

When you say "lose their account", do you mean the computer object in AD disappears? Or something else?

Occasionally computers will lose their account in Active Directory for no apparent reason. Sometimes it is a computer that has just joined the domain, while other times the machine has been a member of the domain for 2 years.  The computer can only be logged on by a local account (not a domain account).  To remedy this, the computer has to be disjoined from the domain, join a workgroup, then join the domain again.  As I am sure you all are aware, this is not only time consuming, but very inappropriate to have to do.
 
 Has anyone else had this experience and how have you fixed it?
 
Thanks,
Brenda
