I have a Win XPProSP2 machine that was removed from a domain. Previous
domain settings included a GPO to install a couple of apps by assigning them
to the machine via .msi packages. A problem occurred on the server and I
erroneously reconfigured the computer configuration/software
settings/software installation portion of the GPO.
The apps no longer existed on the server but their application continued to
appear in the RSOP.msc-generated report (although with an error ! flag), both
before and after the target machine was disjoined from the domain.
My questions:
1) Is this behaviour what I have heard described as "tattooing" (of registry
settings)?
2) Where can I learn more about tattooing and what kinds of settings are
prone to this behaviour? (I scanned the registry after disjoinging the domain
and was surprised at how many domain-related keys/values remain)
3) How can I remove/reconfigure the settings in the registry (or
%systemroot%?) to permanently remove the existence of the apparent
GPO-applied software installation package, so that I get a clean and
representative RSOP report?
Many thanks for any guidance anyone can provide.
