If you want to use pre-created computer accounts instead of auto-created computer accounts, you must also create the additional computer account and specify its name here. Then you do not need to delegate Create and Delete of computer objects to the provisioning account.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style="color: #565656; font-size: 13px; font-family: Metropolis, 'Avenir Next', 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;A href="https://goo.gl/SGPBYm" title="https://goo.gl/SGPBYm"&gt;Worksheet for Creating an Instant-Clone Desktop Pool&lt;/A&gt; &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style="color: #565656; font-size: 13px; font-family: Metropolis, 'Avenir Next', 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif;"&gt;I'm a bit confused about it and when or why I would use it.&amp;nbsp; I understand pre-7.8 required an Instant-Clone Service Account with specific AD permissions to work properly.&amp;nbsp; If I use this field is the &lt;SPAN style="color: #565656; font-family: Metropolis, 'Avenir Next', 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"&gt;Instant-Clone Service Account still needed?&amp;nbsp; Would I pre-create all the computer accounts and just specify one in this field during the creation of the pool?&amp;nbsp; What use case is this for?&amp;nbsp; Any deeper explanation would be greatly appreciated!&amp;nbsp; Thanks!&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN style="color: #565656; font-family: Metropolis, 'Avenir Next', 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt; &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;I run instant clones in production and the way it currently works in mine(7.4), first a cp-template vm is created. This one needs to be added to the domain, which for me its auto creating a random ad account that starts with it. I haven't tried 7.8 yet, but isn't the feature mentioned just for this, it states &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;"&lt;SPAN style="color: #565656; font-family: Metropolis, 'Avenir Next', 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif;"&gt;. If you want to use pre-created computer accounts instead of auto-created computer accounts"&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style="color: #565656; font-family: Metropolis, 'Avenir Next', 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif;"&gt;I believe you chose not to use that. This is separate that choosing or not showing to reuse the same computer objects for the clones, or needing a service account. &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style="color: #565656; font-family: Metropolis, 'Avenir Next', 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif;"&gt;For the purpose of this I can see it being used for auditing purposes, and even clean up usuage. For an example, I have a few desktop pools that use the same OU. I cannot tell which template account is for which without digging through the horizon ldap database&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style="color: #565656; font-family: Metropolis, 'Avenir Next', 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper" image-alt="pastedImage_0.png"&gt;&lt;img src="https://communities.vmware.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/9345i0059DCF8206B270D/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="pastedImage_0.png" alt="pastedImage_0.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
