SEC4.0+ - Unassigned Folder

Yabusame

All,

We are building a new domain; adding and removing servers as we go (some are temporary, some permanent).  To keep things simple I am deleting the contents of the Unassigned folder prior to doing a 'Find new computers' so that everything listed is what is currently in the domain (accounting for those temporary servers that have come and gone).  However, when I delete and then run Find, I'm getting multiple entries for the same machines in the Unassigned folder.

Anyone know what's causing the duplication?

Also, does anyone know the process that the 'Find new computers' process follows in populating the Unassigned group?  Is it just looking for machine in the Users & Computers list of the domain?

Thanks in advance!

    Hello Yabusame,

    which sub-function of Find ... do you use? Before guessing the cause this information could help in narrowing the search. I think you are using Find with and not Import from AD.

    Also I'd like to mention that Delete doesn't remove the computer from the database (in the SBS version it was and might still be called Hide). It just flags the entry and excludes the computer from the display. If the computer is "found" or is protected (or just was switched off) and subsequently reports to the console it is un-deleted keeping some of its original attributes (like group membership).

    I assume the "multiples" have different attributes - look at Computer details where they differ.Then we'll see.
