computer account is a container

[Bryan Butler]

We recently deleted around 500 computer accounts that
were no longer valid. About 5 of them give the following
message if you try to delete them.

Active Directory

Object COMPUTERNAME is a container and contains other
objects. Are you sure you want to delete object
COMPUTERNAME and all of the objects in it?

To delete object COMPUTERNAME and all objects it
contains, click Yes.
To keep object COMPUTERNAME, click No.
To delete object COMPUTERNAME and then delete all
selected containters without further confirmation, click
Yes to All.
To cancel the operation, click Cancel.


What should I do?

This is fine. They probably had a printer shared and listed in the
directory, or something of that nature.
