samba - Feb 2015 - disabling PC

Hi, when I disable a computer in Active Directory with wink8, winServer2003 and
ADUC shows the following message: "Disabling the computer account prevents
users on that computer from logging on to this domain". So, after that, I
continue logging on that computer with users from my domain. Despite of
disabling the PC, I can logging on the PC in the domain. So, what's the real
function of disabling a computer?
My Regards.

The purpose is to prevent the computer from participating in the
domain.  If the PC was rebooted, and you were then still able to join
the domain and log in as a domain user, then there is a problem. 

If the PC is network disconnected, users will be able to login to the PC
due to the cached domain credentials.
