cool, many thanks for the explanation guys, what I'd like to do now is to exit the domain and then rejoin it again.<br />
<br />
I hope that the SCP or any other AD attributes that has been written or assigned to the users still working fine after the domain rejoin.

Hi All,<br />
<br />
I have Windows Server 2003 Terminal Server in production that I'd like to exit the NLB cluster and then rejoin again due to some unknown error (forgot to sysprepped after VMware clone)<br />
<br />
Is there any caveats by doing so ? eg. deleting the account from domain and then rejoining back again to the domain ?<br />
<br />
I'm afraid of breaking the existing user environment (eg. user account document and settings) as well as the unable to registering it back to the domain even after the VM backup restore ?<br />
<br />
any idea please share it here.<br />
<br />
Thanks.

Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft brand for identity-related capabilities. In the on-premises world, Windows Server AD provides a set of identity capabilities and services, and is hugely popular (88% of Fortune 1000 and 95% of enterprises use AD). This topic includes all things Active Directory including DNS, Group Policy, DFS, troubleshooting, ADFS, and all other topics under the Microsoft AD and identity umbrella.

Active Directory

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
