Windows 10: PasswordNotRequired TRUE for new computers created via ADUC GUI

When a new computer object is created in Active Directory User and Computers versions 10.0.14292.2608 and 10.0.19041.1 tested the computer's PasswordNotRequired attribute is set to TRUE. However, when a new computer object is created via PowerShell v5.1 using the ActiveDirectory module from the same ADUC versions above the PasswordNotRequired attribute is set to FALSE. I thought this attribute would be set to FALSE by default no matter how the computer object is created. That's how it works with new user accounts.


Why are computers created via the ADUC GUI set with PasswordNotRequired=TRUE when computers created via new-adcomputer have PasswordNotRequired=FALSE?


Is there a best-practice with regard to how the PasswordNotRequired attribute should be configured on computer objects?

PC name incorrect in ADUC after beign renamed

Are talking about changing the name on the PC?

The problem is not with the PC itself.

The names can be changed on the PC and has been changed, it just still shows as the old name on the computer list (on ADUC), although if I click on the property (on ADUC), it shows the new name.

 

PC name incorrect in ADUC after beign renamed

One of our newer workstations was installed with 1903 version because 1809 just didn't turn out well. I had to rename it later on and somehow on ADUC it still shows as the old name on the computer list. The properties section shows the new name for DHS and
computer name, but the old name is the one shows on the top (which can't be changed).

Remoting to it only works if I connect to the new name. PDQ also shows the new name.

Has anyone had the same problem? Or can anyone suggest a solution?

Thank you in advance.
