Please verify that the SIP object was created in the Active Directory and its
name exactly matches the name assigned to that SIP via the OSCAR
interface at the console switch.
The Dell Standard Schema and the Dell Extended Schema use specific object
classes in the Microsoft Windows Active Directory to represent SIPs. The
Microsoft standard naming conventions for these object classes prohibit the
use of special characters or spaces. If you intend to use LDAP in a deployed
environment where target device names in SIPs currently include spaces or
special characters, you will need to rename them without spaces or special
characters.
Renaming a target device in a SIP should be done through the on-board web
interface or OSCAR interface at the console switch and then resynchronized
through the Remote Console Switch Software. Instructions for renaming a
target device in a SIP can be found in "Assigning Device Names" on page 49.
It is important to note that while OSCAR interface will allow you to enter
spaces into the names assigned to the SIPs, Active Directory does not. You
must name SIP objects according to the Microsoft Active Directory rules.
