Changing default number of machines a user can add to a domain

Most of you know the limit of 10 times authenticated users can join machines to a domain.
Upping the limit, or removing it is a very simple thing to do.
The Active Directory attribute you need to change is mS-DS-MachineAccountQuota which is a property of the domain object.
Here’s the steps to change it:
– Start ADSI Edit (start/run/adsiedit.msc)
– Expand out the Domain node, right click on DC=<yourdomain>,DC=com and select properties
– Scan down to ms-DS-MachineAccountQuota
– Modify the value as appropriate, or clear the value to remove the limit entirely
