    Hi all!!

    I have a problem in a little network with Windows server 2003 Domain Controller an Windows XP client machines: if I not connect a computer for more than a month in this LAN, AD delete the computer account.

    May I avoid this?

    Thank-you!!

    Bye!

    Hello,

    Maybe you configured a scheduled task to scan and delete inactive computer accounts.

    You can use schtasks.exe command and list scheduled task .

    Thank-you Patris for your response!!

    Next week I'm going to work and see if there is some task or script that clean the stale computer account.

    Many thanks!

    Bye!
