[gptalk] Re: Computer shows up in AD search but not GPO Delegation search

Your Statement "Note, that the computer names that did show up were
imported from a vbs script."

 

Do you mean that the computers that showed up were created using a
script as opposed to creation using AD users and Computers or created by
joining a workstation to the domain?

 

If so there may be a few ways to understand this as I have seen this
before using some portal products:

 

1.     I would do an LDIFDE export of the computer objects that were
created by the script to check which object classes they belong to

 

Or

2.     I have seen service accounts- actual user accounts- created by
3rd party applications that for some reason or another produce a
computer icon in AD users & Computers- but I was not able to reproduce
that myself.

 

Glad to help

I did not think to check that because other computers had shown up in
the search, which now begs the question, why did some computer names
show up, but not all (Note, that the computer names that did show up
were imported from a vbs script.

 

But to answer the specific question, Yes, as soon as I checked
"Computers" the computer that I created, did show up in the search.

 

Weird

 

 

 

Thanks

You need to check the box to search computers as well as groups, users
and maybe contacts

Why would a computer show up in an Active Directory search, but when I
go into Group Policy management to apply a Delegation scope, the
computer will not be found?

 

Any ideas?
