Windows Server 2008 SP2 computer account does not show up on Active Directory


i have  print server w/ w2008 sp2 reason not come when searching computer name account on ad.  can browse server name , ip connect shared printers , shared folders.  i've tried taken off domain , putting back, no luck.  tried manually creating computer account, ad tells me name exists.  main reason need find computer account on ad need move server to ou apply windows update via group policy. othewise, not updates.

if netbios name of computer myserver, following @ command prompt of dc retrieve distinguished name of computer, indicates in ad object resides:

dsquery * -filter "(samaccountname=myserver$)"

samaccountname (pre-windows 2000 name) of computer netbios name trailing "$" character appended.
