Active Directory Administration Cookbook

How it works...

When you delete a computer object, the object no longer uses its RID but the RID and the corresponding SID and DNT in the domain partition also can't be reused.

When you attempt to delete a computer object that has the Protect from accidental deletion option enabled, you will not be able to delete the object—the option needs to be disabled first.

When the Active Directory Recycle Bin is enabled, the deleted computer object emerges in the Deleted Objects container.
