Quick question that I believe I already have the answer
too. Do you have to manually remove a COMPUTER account
from a domain in Active Directory, just like a User
account? Or will it automatically remove the account
after a set time of not seeing it on a domain. An
example, a PC was originally named "A", and you rename
it "B", will Active Directory automatically remove it, or
do you have to manually remove it??

Thanks
James Taylor
