cn=computers

The tag cn=computers refers to the default container in Active Directory where computer objects are stored when they join a domain without being placed in a specific organizational unit. Discussions on WindowsForum.com cover challenges with managing permissions on this container, particularly when configuring Microsoft LAPS. Users report that PowerShell cmdlets like Set-AdmPwdComputerSelfPermission work on custom OUs but fail on the CN=Computers container, requiring alternative approaches to apply LAPS settings. The tag is relevant for IT administrators working with Active Directory, group policy, and security configurations in Windows Server environments.
