Installing Dell Extension To Microsoft Active Directory Users And Computers Snap-In - Dell IDRAC6 User Manual

Installing Dell Extension to Microsoft 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 iDRAC devices, Users and User Groups, iDRAC Associations, and
iDRAC Privileges.
When you install your systems management software using the Dell Systems
Management Tools and Documentation DVD, you can install 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 x64-bit Windows Operating Systems, the Snap-in
installer is located under <DVD drive>:\SYSMGMT\ManagementStation\
support\OMActiveDirectory_SnapIn64
For more information about the Active Directory Users and Computers
Snap-in, see your Microsoft documentation.
