Re: accidently deleted COMPUTER in server manager

It might work. It's one of those things that usually works, but when it doesn't for some reason, you're basically out of luck.

One thing you _should_ do, and that I should have mentioned. Run the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard before you unjoin the box. It gives a reasonable fallback position if your profile doesn't come over clean.

Yes from my experience.
Did it 2 days ago for two servers and a workstation, no problem.

Will the original domain profile be revived when the computer is rejoined to the domain Charlie? (I've never had to do this myself)

You need to go to the computer and remove it from the domain, joining it to a workgroup. Reboot. and then run http://servername/connectcomputer to rejoin it to the domain. After you're done, you can have users log in to create a profile and then copy over the old profile information.
