Does the login to the Remote Console
Switch using Active Directory work in
mixed mode (that is, the domain
controllers in the forest run different

Windows NT
®
Windows Server 2003)?
Does using the Remote Console Switch

LDAP Feature for the Remote Console Switch
4.0, Windows 2000, or
Yes. In mixed mode, all objects used
by the Remote Console Switch
querying process (among user, SIP
Device Object, and Association
Object) have to be in the same
domain.
The Dell-extended Active Directory
Users and Computers snap-in checks
the mode and limits users in order to
create objects across domains if in
mixed mode.
Yes. The domain forest function level
must be in Native mode or Windows
2003 mode. In addition, the groups
among Association Object, Remote
Console Switch user objects, and SIP
Device Objects (including Association
Object) must be universal groups.
The Association Object and the
Privilege Object must be in the same
domain. The Dell-extended Active
Directory Users and Computers snap-
in forces you to create these two
objects in the same domain. Other
objects can be in different domains.
Yes. All Active Directory servers' SSL
certificates in the forest must be
signed by the same root CA since
Remote Console Switch only allows
uploading one trusted CA SSL
certificate.
