Lab 6-4 Creating a Computer Account in Active Directory 

  1. Open Active Directory Users and Computers.
  2. Go into your Research OU.
  3. Right click on the Computers container and select newàcomputer.
  4. In the NewObject-Computer dialog box, type Workstation01 in the computer name box. Notice that the same name will automatically show up in Computer name [pre-windows 2000] box. Before Windows 2000 there were tighter restrictions on how you could name a computer, so you might have to modify a computer name so that pre-Windows 2000 computers can see that computer by name on a network.
  5. Create two more computer accounts named Workstation02 and Memberserver01.
