Re: Printer Disapear and Strange Admin Objects




Hi Chriss
Thanks for your help with the printer and computer account problem that we
are expierence. The printer feedback answered all our questions about that
problem, however with the audit policy we have one more question. Is it
possible to just audit
the creation of a computer account, i looked in the group policy and couldnt
see an option for that. Thanks for your help again...
