question for computer account

[hing_hk]

Hi all,

I was doing my 070 290 preparation. In the Chapter 5 , it asked me to create a few computer accounts. The funny thing was I tried to disable all computer accounts I had on my server 2003 Enterprise Edition except the Domain Controller which was the server itself, I could still use my Windows XP Professional client machine to log-in into the domain.

Could any tell me how did this happen? Or this is another bugs of the "Macrohard" "Widows"?

You'll still be able to log in with a domain account, but you'll probably see trust errors if you're auditing on both the client and server, and in about 30 days it will (or at least should) stop working entirely (although the domain 'administrator' account will likely still be able to log in even after such time has passed, as it can ALWAYS log in once you've logged in once, regardless of machine state).
