What happens if I delete a computer from Active Directory?

If you delete a computer from Active Directory, it will be removed from the domain and all related resources. The computer’s user account will also be deleted, and any files or folders that were shared with that computer will be unavailable.

When an object is deleted from Active Directory, the object is permanently removed from the directory and the space it occupied is made available for other objects. The object’s attributes are also removed from the directory. Any references to the deleted object will return an error.

Removing a computer from a domain controller is a relatively simple process. First, open the Control Panel and navigate to the System and Security section. Then, click on the System icon and select the Change settings option. Finally, locate the Computer name, domain, and workgroup settings section and click on the Change button.
In the Computer name/domain field, delete the text in the field and click on the OK button. This will remove the computer from the domain controller.

There are a few ways to remove an object from AD. One way is to use the Remove-ADObject cmdlet. Another way is to use the ADSI Edit tool.

Active Directory keeps deleted objects for a configurable amount of time. The default is 90 days.

Yes, you should enable AD Recycle Bin. This will allow you to restore deleted objects from Active Directory.

Active Directory deleted users are located in the Deleted Objects container.

When a computer is joined to an Active Directory domain, the computer is given a unique name and identifier within the domain. The computer is then added to the Active Directory database, and can be managed by administrators in the domain. The computer can also access resources in the domain, such as shared folders, printers, and user accounts.

Active Directory runs on a Windows Server.

To check if Recycle Bin is enabled in Active Directory, open the Active Directory Users and Computers console, and then browse to the container or organizational unit (OU) where you want to enable Recycle Bin. Right-click the container or OU, and then click Properties. On the General tab, click the Advanced button. In the dialog box that appears, scroll down to the Recycle Bin section, and then make sure that the Enable Recycle Bin check box is selected.

The Active Directory Administrative Center (ADAC) is a Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in that provides a graphical interface for managing Active Directory. ADAC replaces the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in.

There are a few reasons why the AD Recycle Bin is not enabled by default. One reason is that when it is enabled, every object in the forest is replicated to every domain controller. This can cause a lot of network traffic and use up disk space on domain controllers. Additionally, there is a risk that someone could accidentally delete an object and not be able to recover it if the recycle bin is not enabled.
