CONFIGURING ACTIVE DIRECTORY FOR USE WITH FAXFINDER

Configuring Active Directory for Use with FaxFinder
Note: This section explains how to configure the Multi-Tech FaxFinder in Microsoft Active Directory, a third
party application. Microsoft may change their screens and steps without notice, for the latest information
pertaining to Active Directory, consult Microsoft's documentation. Contact Multi-Tech Product Support for
questions about FaxFinder.
When you enable Active Directory, FaxFinder retrieves user details and configuration settings from your Microsoft
Active Directory server. Manage data and settings for FaxFinder users through your Active Directory server.
To modify the Active Directory schema, the Active Directory Administrator must be a member of Schema
Administrator and Enterprise Administrators groups. By default, the Administrator belongs to both groups.
To add custom attributes to the Active Directory, you need to:
1. Register schema snap-in
2. Create custom attributes
3. Create custom class and add custom attributes to custom class
4. Add custom class to user class
5. Restart the active directory domain services
