Tough day?
Cloning and setting up a lot of machines?
And you receive this error:
“Your computer could not be joined to the domain. You have exceeded the maximum number of computer accounts you are allowed to create in this domain. Contact your system administrator to have this limit reset or increased.”
And now? what you have done?
Active directory has a “quota” for how many machines a user can join in domain by day, to change that you are going to need to install the support tools or go the domain controller.
Follow this steps:
- Run Adsiedit.msc as an administrator of the domain.
- Expand the Domain NC node. This node contains an object that begins with “DC=” and reflects the correct domain name. Right-click this object, and then click Properties.
- In the Select which properties to view box, click Both.
- In the Select a property to view box, click ms-DS-MachineAccountQuota.
- In the Edit Attribute box, type a number. This number represents the number of workstations that you want users to be able to maintain concurrently.
