Re: Reset computer account

Thank you all with good explaination but I am still confused which scenario
should I use reset instead of add/delete (cleaner job) computer in IT
environment.

For an example, I had a computer join to the domain yesterday and it ran
fine until this morning that I was trying to login as administrator account
with right domain name (not local user) and it prompt me that it can not
find DC (DC is in same subnet). I was able to logon second computer in the
same subnet as DC and domain. Therefore, I removed/rejoined the computer
account to the domain, and it was running fine now. Correct me if I am
wrong, would this be a good scenario to reset the computer.

Thanks again,

Johnny Chow
