computer accounts in active directory

[careless_hxuk]

A quick and easy question about computer accounts in Active Directory:

If I reinstall Windows on a group of computers (resetting all the SIDs on the machines), then reset the computer accounts in Active Directory, can the computers then rejoin the domain under the same name?

I believe so yes. Im doing an MC course in AD at the moment and I´m pretty sure that what you said is true.

Yes. No problem at all.

Thanks. That's how I would expect it to work, but it's always worth checking (especially with Windows)

Shouldn't even need to reset the accounts, just rejoin the machine to the existing account as is. Do it all the time.
