We’ve had a few students install Windows XP Pro on their personal computers. I discovered this when unknown computer names began appearing in Server Manager (listed as Windows NT 5.1 Workstation).
After asking all of our folks that have access to create computer accounts, and getting no ownership of doing so, I was pretty alarmed.
Since then, I have installed WinXPPro on a computer myself and duplicated the issue.
Without being added to the domain, the computer name is displayed in Server Manager. It concerns me that this could happen. Has anyone else seen this? If so, could you shed some light on it for me?
Thanks,
-Joe
