SYMPTOMS
You use the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in to set the Trust this computer for delegation setting on a computer account to let that computer be trusted for delegation. When you use the Find Computers tool in the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in to search for that computer, the computer is returned in the search results as expected. However, the computer is incorrectly listed as a Domain Controller in the Machine Role column. If you click Domain Controller in the Role box, and then click Find Now to filter the search results to display only domain controllers, the computer is no longer listed in the search results.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because the Find Computers tool incorrectly processes whether the UserAccountControl attribute of the computer object that is in Active Directory includes the UF_SERVER_TRUST_ACCOUNT flag.
