<sniff> that would make a great blog subject. :)
Why do you say that they're caught in the check? You never delegated the right for the domain did you? (that can be done via GPO by the way). If you only delegated the right at the OU then that's where they need to add the computer account, but using the computer properties | add to domain routine will try to add to the cn=computers (or whatever you've set it to) and fail because of that. Consider an alternate process such as using netdom if you need to automate or using the pre-create method if not. Heck, you *could* even write something like I'll post on the blog entry when I get a chance and use that if you want. Al On 12/7/06, WATSON, BEN <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hello everyone, Our desktop support group are all a part of a security group called IT. I delegated the Create and Delete Computer ACEs to the security group over the OU that I want them to add computer accounts into when a machine is joined to the domain. After I adjusted the security settings, I reduced the default number of computers an authenticated user can join to the domain down to zero. It seems that the members of the IT security group can pre-create the computer accounts, but when they attempt to go through the join process, they are caught at the check that determines if they have surpassed the number of machines a user can join to the domain (which is now zero). What must I do so this security group is not subject to that check?
