Re: Not Creating Computer Accounts - Strange Issue

Hi Guys,

I use the domain admin account to re add the computers to the domain. I'll
copy the event viewer tomorrow as had a hectic day today.

Meinholf, Are you saying i need to wait for replication of the computer
account deletion to all other site dc's before i try to re create the
computer account in the same site it was deleted from?

Hello Chris,

What groups is the account member of? Has it get the rights delegated to
join comupters? PLease describe the configured settings for the acount you
use. Also post the complete error from the event viewer. How long is the
time between deleteing and rejoining the machine with the same name? Did
you wait/check replication to all other DC's after deleting the computer
name from AD?

Best regards

Meinolf Weber

I'm really struggling to find out why this problem is happening..

If i am reinstalling an PC and i delete it from AD before reinstalling
it, when i bring it back into the domain it sayd it has joined the
domain successfully but it does not create a computer object and i get
errors in the event viewer on the pc saying it cannot locate a dc
after the pc is rebooted. What i ahve to do is put the pc into a
workgroup, reboot, rename pc, reboot, rename back and then bring it
back into domain. I sometimes have to do this numerous times.

This only happens when the computer is being re joined to the domain
as it's previous name.

it doesn't happen if it is a new name.

We have 1 AD domain
8 sites.
each site has it's own subnet and dc's placed accordingly
DHCP point each client to the 2 dc/dns servers in its own site
ad integrated DNS
We have no errors in Replication etc
No errors in DNS
Any one ever seen this before?
