Hola Tommie,

Thank you for your response. I think I will try your solution first.
I've got those lines you mentioned commented out, so I'll uncommented
them and will let you know how it goes.

I believe it will have to be done with the IT guy's password because
they have access to a web-interface intranet system where they add new
users, MACs, IPs, etc. to the AD domain.

Cheers,
