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.

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.
To delete computer accounts, select them, right-click the selection, and click Delete. Then, click Yes to confirm the deletion. If you select multiple accounts, clicking Delete displays the Delete Objects dialog box. To delete all the selected accounts, select the Apply to all items check box, and then click Yes.

NOTE: Deleting a computer account is an irreversible operation. A new computer account with the same name as a deleted account cannot authenticate in the domain unless the administrator re-joins the computer to the domain. For this reason, it is recommended that you disable rather than delete computer accounts. |
