Windows Server 2019 StandardのActive Directoryでの質問です。

①表示されているパソコン名の一覧には、パソコン名を変更する前の古いものも表示されているのでしょうか?

②パソコン名変更後にドメインユーザーでログインすることで自動的にActive Directory上に新しいパソコン名が表示されるのでしょうか?

③古いパソコン名が残っている場合、どれが生きているパソコンなのか見分けるのに、コマンドプロンプトの「ping」で通信確認を行う以外に方法はあるでしょうか?

以上、よろしくお願いいたします。

    Hello 寺田順一, Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

    Here are the answers for your references: (1)Normally, when the name of a computer is changed, the old name will not be displayed in the computer list and the system will update it to the new name. (2)When you change the computer name and log in as a domain user, the new computer name should be automatically updated to Active Directory. However, this update process may take some time and wait for automatic synchronization to occur (such as AD replication). (3)According to my operation, under normal circumstances, the old computer name will not be retained. In addition to using "ping" to check communication at the command prompt, there are also the following methods to distinguish active computers: Active Directory Users and Computers: Open this administrative tool and view the properties of the computer objects. In the "Properties," you can see information such as the last logon time and the computer's DNS name, which can help you identify which are the active computers. PowerShell Command: You can use PowerShell commands, such as Get-ADComputer, to retrieve detailed information about all computers in the domain. You can also filter for specific information as needed, such as the last logon date, etc.

    Here is a test in my lab.

    I hope the information above is helpful. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to let us know. Best Regards, Daisy Zhou
