Steps for removing a computer account from a group

To remove a computer account from a group

  1. In the console tree, locate and select the folder that contains the computer account.
  2. In the details pane, right-click the computer account, and then click Properties.
  3. On the Member Of tab in the Properties dialog box, clear the Show nested groups check box, select the group from which you want to remove the computer account, and click Remove.

NOTE:

  • If you have not cleared the Show nested groups check box, the list on the Member Of tab also includes the groups to which the computer account belongs indirectly, that is, because of group nesting. If you select such a group from the list, the Remove button is unavailable. A computer account can be removed from only those groups of which the account is a direct member.
  • The computer account cannot be removed from its primary group (Domain Computers by default). You first need to change the computer’s primary group: On the Member Of tab, select a different group from the list, and then click Set Primary Group.

Moving computer accounts

To move computer accounts to another container, select the accounts, right-click the selection, and then click Move. In the Move dialog box, select the container to which you want to move the accounts.

NOTE: The console provides the drag-and-drop function for moving objects. To move computer accounts, you can drag the selection from the details pane to a destination container in the console tree.

Steps for moving a computer account

To move a computer account

  1. In the console tree, locate and select the folder that contains the computer account.
  2. In the details pane, right-click the computer account and click Move to display the Move dialog box.
  3. In the Move dialog box, select the folder to which you want to move the computer account, and then click OK.

NOTE:

  • With Active Roles, computer accounts, as well as other directory objects, can only be moved within the same domain. This means that the folder to which you want to move the account must belong to the same domain as the account.
  • You can move multiple computer accounts at a time: Select the accounts, right-click the selection, and click Move to display the Move dialog box. To select multiple accounts, press and hold down CTRL, and then click each account.
  • You can use the Find function of Active Roles in order to locate the computer accounts you want to move. Once you have found the accounts, you can move them as follows: Select the accounts in the list of search results, right-click the selection, and click Move to display the Move dialog box.
  • You can move objects, such as computer accounts, by using the drag-and-drop feature. To move a selection of objects, drag the selection from the details pane to the destination container in the console tree.

Exporting and importing computer accounts

With the Active Roles console, you can export computer accounts to an XML file and then import them from that file to populate a container in a different domain. The export and import operations provide a way to relocate computer accounts between domains.

To export computer accounts, select them, right-click the selection, and select All Tasks | Export. In the Export Objects dialog box, specify the file where you want to save the data, and click Save.

To import computer accounts, right-click the container where you want to place the accounts, and then click Import. In the Import Directory Objects dialog box, select the file to which the computer accounts were exported, and click Open.
