How to find differences between two types computer accounts in Active Directory?

  • 0

 

Hi all,

 

Recently we have been working on WIFI authentication based on Active Directory.

 

We found that the computer accounts in AD that were created manually (dsa.msc > right click on the container > new > computer) are different from the computer accounts that were created during adding a real PC or VM to AD.

 

 

We discovered that manually created computers are not recognized by some Cisco software/hardware.

 

My question is – how do I find the differences between computer accounts created manually and computer accounts created when adding a real machine to AD?

 

Any help will be appreciated

 

Thank you in advance. Regards

    1. Are you saying that pre-staging the computer in AD, then joining the workstation to the domain using the pre-stage name, results in an authentication failure with Cisco software/hardware….?

      But NOT pre-staging has no problems? Are ALL the computer accounts still sitting in the default Computers OU?

      TBH Have never heard of that being an issue. You can manually compare object attributes from ADUC for two computer objects, but have no idea what you’d be looking for.
