error joining systems to domain 2

[fasolaomotomilola]

Hello all,

I delegated control to a user to join system to domain.
Doman Controller restrict him from joining sytems to domain after moving seven systems to the domain.

How can I increase this quota so that he can join as many as possible systems to domain.

Thank you,

Thanks,

The link is only applicable to windows server 2000. I use windows 2003 server.

Please assist me my people.

It's applicable to 2003 as well. It's an AD issue, and a simple Google search would have provided you a quick answer, just like I found in a few seconds:

Problem

You want to grant users the ability to join more or fewer than 10 computers to a domain. This limit is called the machine account quota.

Solution

Using a graphic al user interface
Open the ADSI Edit MMC snap-in and connect to the Domain Naming Context.


Right-click on the domainDNS object for the domain you want to change and select Properties.


Edit the ms-DS-MachineAccountQuota attribute and enter the new quota value.


Click OK twice.

Sorry i posted the wrong link but Davetoo is right it's an active directory design issue ad can be solved in the same way.
