Joining computer to domain

Hi,

I was setting up new computers for the users in our company and joining them
to our domain. However I can only join about 10 computers to the domain and
after that I am unable to join anymore. After searching for some time I
found out that domain users can only join 10 computers to the domain. Is
there anyway that this limit can be raised? Or this restriction can be
removed for a particular domain user account?

Thx,
Ed

Yes, this is AD quota
You can change this in AD - for example using this nice script You will
change default quota
http://www.rallenhome.com/books/adcookbook/src/15.16-set_default_quota.vbs.txt

Or for spcific user You can use dsadd:
dsadd quota partitionname -acct accountname -qlimit value
 
You don't have to be the admin to join a computer to the domain. Each user
can do this ten times. You can also delegate this control to users or grant
them the right via GPO.

Nope, You have to be the Admin to add account.

You have to delegate proper rights to a particular user so
that particular user can join the domain. U can do this by
ur AD delegation. This will help u and u can join as many
computer on ur domain by this ID.
 
You may want to read the links I previously posted. You don't have to
delegate to allow a user to join a workstation to a domain - only if you
plan on having that user join lots of machines to the domain.
