When joining a Computer to an Active Directory domain using the Domain Join UI in Windows or a command line tool such as NETDOM.EXE, by default the computer object is stored in the Computers container which is defined as the default Container in Active Directory for new created Computer objects.

The disadvantage of this is that you cannot link any Group Policies to the Computers container which prevents you from applying any Computer security or configuration settings to these clients.
