You got it. Funny how Microsoft tucks these little tidbits away for you to
discover. Kind of like and easter egg hunt. :-)

I stand correct...I actually did not know that.  I imagine this would a
cumulative number over the lifetime of the account.  I could see how it
would be useful in a company that may be short staffed.  Good stuff, I love
learning new things every day...

Which means you have to administrate the Active Directory
ms-DS-MachineAccountQuota attribute also if you want to control
authenticated users the ability to add workstations.

Actually in Windows 2000 authenticated users are allowed to add up to 10
workstations to the domain by default. More info in Q251335.

The answer is "no".

In Active Directory Users and Computers, you "Delegate Control".  Select the
domain or OU and right click.  The first option in the list should be
"Delegate Control".

You may want to audit object creation also on your DCs to gain a better idea
of who and what is being created on your network.  It was a good thing that
last admin left, sounds like he/she wasn't very good in practicing prudent
administration duties.

Is it in the default domain policy where you specify who has rights to
create new computer accounts in the domain???

The reason I'm asking is that our last admin allowed all authenticated users
to do this and he has since left ... we of course want to change this to a
specific group of people (i.e. tech staff) so that no bozos plug into our
network and create rogue workstations.

Thanks,
Alex
