Hello Keith,
Thank you for posting here.
According to your description, I understand that you want to know why the
SBS Server Management console does not have "Reset Account" command to
reset computer account. If I have misunderstood the problem, please don't
hesitate to let me know.
In fact, the SBS Server Management console has already integrated ADUC, you
can run "Reset Account" command under SBS Server Management console.
1. Please open Server Management console on SBS
2. Extend Advanced Management->Active Directory Users and Computers
[name.domain.local]->domain.local->MyBusiness->Computers->SBSComputers
3. Right click the computer account in right pane, select "Reset Account"
command.
Hope these steps will give you some help.
Thanks and have a nice day!
Best regards,
Terence Liu(MSFT)

| Hi,
|
| This is a kinda minor and slightly dumb question but is just something
that
| has occurred to me each time ive had to rebuild a customers computer and
| re-join to the domain.
|
| When I worked with a few IT teams in "big server" land, they had
dedicated
| AD people to manage their domains. When A pc/laptop had died and was
rebuilt
| (on new or same hardware), the AD computer account was simply reset (in
ADUC
| - right click > Reset Account) and the machine was joined to the domain
again.
|
| In SBS Management Console there is no facility to do this, just the
option
| of removing the computer from the network. To join the computer back to
the
| domain with the same name requires removal and recreation of the account.
|
| Now, I know there is dsa.msc and you can browse to ADUC via
administrative
| tools on an SBS and accomplish the same thing but is there any reason why
| Reset Account was omitted from the SBS console? Does SBS not like
accounts
| being reset? Are there any implications of doing this?
|
| Like I said, no biggie, im just interested.
|
