[Brian Desmond]

You need to define what you mean by rename. As in change the CN in AD? Use the UI on the workstation and change te computer name…?   Thanks, Brian Desmond [EMAIL PROTECTED]   c - 312.731.3132   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of O'Brien, Cathy Sent: Wednesday, July 19, 2006 2:16 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Rights Required to Rename Computer Objects   That's what Microsoft recommends... from the whitepaper Best Practices for Delegating Active Directory Administration, Appendix A:   Rename a computer account WP [Write Property] on the computer object to modify all attributes NOTE: User performing operation must be a Local Administrator on the computer being renamed   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Clay, Justin (ITS) Sent: Wednesday, July 19, 2006 7:33 AM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: [ActiveDir] Rights Required to Rename Computer Objects I posted about this a week or so ago and I didn’t see a response, but can anyone tell me what specific rights are needed to allow someone to rename a computer attached to an AD domain? Read and Write all Properties works but that’s a bit excessive I think.   Thanks,   Justin Clay ITS Enterprise Services Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County Howard School Building Phone: (615) 880-2573   ITS ENTERPRISE SERVICES EMAIL NOTICE The information contained in this email and any attachments is confidential and may be subject to copyright or other intellectual property protection.
