I've added a computer to my domain, the machine is able to connect to the domain, and users are able to log in. However, it is not showing up in the Computers OU.

How do I get it to populate* (I know I can create new or use dsadd, but how do I make AD actually populate the machine without my intervention)? Why isn't it automatically populating?

* edit for clarity

I'm not sure why it's doing this. It's not every machine and it seems to be random.

It's not SBS2k3.

I'll assume your using the standard, control panel/system/computer name tab/join domain method...

all I can think of is either AV or XP SP2 firewall causing the problem. Haven't done much research on SP3 and the problems being reported with it. Are SP2 no problem and SP3 a problem?
