About this tag
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.
