Active Directory Users And Computers Snap-In - Dell iDRAC6 User Manual

Installing the Dell Extension to the Active Directory Users and
Computers Snap-In
When you extend the schema in Active Directory, you must also extend the
Active Directory Users and Computers Snap-in so the administrator can
manage iDRAC6 devices, Users and User Groups, iDRAC6 Associations,
and iDRAC6 Privileges.
When you install your systems management software using the Dell Systems
Management Tools and Documentation DVD, you can extend the Snap-in by
selecting the Active Directory Users and Computers Snap-in option during
the installation procedure. See the Dell OpenManage Software Quick
Installation Guide for additional instructions about installing systems
management software. For 64-bit Windows Operating Systems, the Snap-in
installer is located under:
<DVD drive>:\SYSMGMT\ManagementStation\support\OMActiveDirect
ory_SnapIn64
For more information about the Active Directory Users and Computers
Snap-in, see your Microsoft documentation.
Installing the Administrator Pack
You must install the Administrator Pack on each system that is managing the
Active Directory iDRAC6 Objects. If you do not install the Administrator
Pack, you cannot view the Dell iDRAC6 Object in the container.
See "Opening the Active Directory Users and Computers Snap-In" for more
information.
