Note: This question is part of a series of questions that present the same scenario. Each question in the series contains a unique solution that might meet the stated goals. Some question sets might have more than one correct solution, while others might not have a correct solution.
After you answer a question in this section, you will NOT be able to return to it. As a result, these questions will not appear in the review screen.
Your network contains an Active Directory domain.
You have a user account that is a member of the Domain Admins group.
You have 100 laptops that have a standard corporate image installed. The laptops are in workgroups and have random names.
A technician named Tech1 is assigned the task of joining the laptops to the domain. The computer accounts of each laptop must be in an organizational unit (OU) that is associated to the department of the user who will use the laptop. The laptop names must start with four characters indicating the department, followed by a four-digit number.
Tech1 is a member of the Domain Users group only. Tech1 has the administrator logon credentials for all the laptops.

You need Tech1 to join the laptops to the domain. The solution must ensure that the laptops are named correctly, and that the computer accounts of the laptops are in the correct OUs.
Solution: You pre-create the computer account of each laptop in Active Directory Users and Computers.
You instruct Tech1 to sign in to each laptop, to rename each laptop, and then to join each laptop to the domain by using System in Control Panel.
Does this meet the goal?

  • A. Yes
  • B. No

I have tested this in a lab. The answer is Yes. When you pre-create a computer account you have the option to select which user or group can join the computer to the domain. You will also name the computer. The technician (who has LOCAL admin rights to all computers) will then be able to sign into each computer, rename it with the same name that you created in ADUC and join it to the domain. The only assumption we have to make is that the computer was originally put in the correct OU - but this would be a normal part of pre-creating a computer in AD - so I would assume that has been done.

Answer is NO - because you cannot decide OU from domain joining from Control Panel. There are not stated anywhere that the computer objects has been pre-created. I get your point, but Im not sure thats what Microsoft wants us to demonstrate here :)

"Solution: You pre-create the computer account of each laptop in Active Directory Users and Computers." You should rly read more carefully, when you pre-create computer account you will decide in which OU it will be placed.

When the computer accounts are pre-created then the user can join as many computers he wants in the domain. https://www.techrepublic.com/blog/tr-dojo/increase-the-number-of-workstations-a-user-can-join-to-a-domain/

It does meet the goal, it would take about a week, but it does meet the goal...... A non domain admin can add a computer to a domain, if it has been prestaged in AD.

Charchar is correct, answer should probably be NO. Because of default limit to number of workstations a user can join to the domain...

Answer is correct. B-NO As coleman said, the correct answer is: the correct solution is : You script the creation of files for an offline domain join, and then you give the files to Tech1. You instruct Tech1 to sign in to each laptop, and then to run djoin.exe.

To wrap and close this discussion about the 10 user limit: The Default for a DOMAIN JOINED SERVER is that the "Add Workstations to Domain" is enabled, and configured for "Authenticated Users", and the Quota is in fact 10 computers. That setting is NOT enabled for a standalone server, thus the mixed results people are posting.

Answer is yes. If you use ADUC, do new>computer, click change by user or group, you can select the user. Nothing here states how or what steps to take to pre-create the computer account. So don't just assume that you cannot change the permissions.

Dear All, If you pre-create a computer account in the domain then you cannot rename the computer before joining. If you renamed the computer then it will make new computer account with new computer name in the default computer OU.

As I understand (and I already make it clear that I can be wrong) for the limit to work it must have two things configured, the limit of workstations, and the GPO that activates this limitation, I show it in images: Limit that today continues to come with 10 stations: https://imgur.com/a/HUGB247 The GPO that formerly came preconfigured and activated the previous limit: https://imgur.com/a/VvZbTq4 But that today it is disabled. https://imgur.com/a/iLhVbKh Without the GPO the limitation does not work! Thank you all very much for the comments, I hope you are all great. A hug PD: Answer is YES Or so I think

The answer should be yes. The biggest piece of information that people looked over in this is when it said "You have a user account that is a member of the Domain Admins group." You can manually add the computers to Active Directory in the correct OU and then join them using the Domain admin account.

Answer is No. Note that users in the Administrators or Domain Administrators groups, and those users who have delegated permissions on containers in Active Directory to create and delete computer accounts, are not restricted by this limitation. It is not the case of Tech1. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/243327/default-limit-to-number-of-workstations-a-user-can-join-to-the-domain

https://www.petenetlive.com/KB/Article/0001536 Please read this article, scroll down to option 4. It looks like if you pre-configure the computer object in Active Directory, this by passes the Tech1 domain user's 10 computer limitation in the AD attribute. round about solution: yes. I haven't labbed this myself to verify but when i take the test, I'm marking this solution as yes.

By default domain users can only add 10 computers to a domain. The answer is b. no, because Tech1 is a basic domain user and can only add 10 computers to the domain. Tech1 can only add 10 computer when tech1 needs to add 100 laptops to the domain.
