machines not correctly deleted from domain


Recommended Posts

Hello,

I have the problem that, after moving machines on client side from the

domain back to a workgroup, they still appear in the Active Directory;

so they seem not to be correctly taken of the domain.

First I thought that it would be a problem of access rights on a given

container, but even when using the domain-admin account on the client

machine to configure the machine to be part of a workgroup, it is

still not correctly deleted from the domain...

In the event-log, I do not see any error.

 

Any idea what could be the problem?

Thank you very much in advance

Best regards

RE: machines not correctly deleted from domain

 

If your computer was a member of a domain, Windows prompts you for the user

name and password of an account with permission to delete the computer

account from the domain. If the account you provide does not have permission

to remove the computer account from the domain, the computer is disjoined

from the domain and moved to the workgroup, but the computer account is left

in place on the domain. This may prevent Kerberos authentication to a

computer with the same NetBIOS name joined to a different domain within the

same forest.

So, check if your domain admin have the right to delete the computer object.

 

Have a nice day!

Re: machines not correctly deleted from domain

 

Hello,

what I do is very simple:

In the system properties, I affect the machin, which is currently

member of the domain, again to a workgroup, but it still appears in

the Active Directory Users and computers console and in the registry

of the machine, I still have some entries pointing to the domain (It

is not a problem of user rights, since when doing it as domain admin,

I have the same problem).

I do not see any error message in the event log, neither on the

machine, neither on the domain controller.

Re: machines not correctly deleted from domain

 

The fact that the computer object remains in the AD is normal and by design,

that doesn't mean that the computer is member of the AD, you'll noitice that

after you remove the computer from the AD you no longer have the dropbox for

domain selection.
