cause
This is a known issue you may experience when Assistant Admins attempt to create a computer account using a custom power that does not include the $McsAllowPreWin2k computer property. The $McsAllowPreWin2k computer property provides the ability for pre-Windows 2000 computers to use the computer account. If you create a custom power that does not include the $McsAllowPreWin2k computer property, Assistant Admins cannot successfully create computer accounts.
