RE: [ActiveDir] AD computer accounts being removed

[Doug Ferguson]

We have seen the same thing in our organization, and I am investigating whether our technician that does the images for our desktop deployments has been using the wrong version of Sysprep.  I read on the MS site that there are versions of Sysprep for different OS levels (or service packs).  Just a thought.   -;)   Doug Ferguson Windows Systems Administrator Hynix Semiconductor Manufacturing America, Inc.   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brenda Casey Sent: Wednesday, January 18, 2006 9:42 AM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: [ActiveDir] AD computer accounts being removed   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
