Management of Active Directory groups
If you use Active Directory to define group hierarchies in your network, you can import the
organizational unit (OU) structure into the SecurityCenter.
1 Download the Active Directory Synchronization utility.
2 Run the utility to import Active Directory groups from your network.
3 Install the client software on computers in your Active Directory groups. You can select a
policy to assign during the installation process.
• Create and send an installation URL to users to install on their computers.
• Run a utility to "push" the software to multiple computers directly from the service
provider's website.
4 Schedule a time for the Active Directory Synchronization utility to run on a regular basis to
import any modifications made to the network Active Directory structure. This ensures that
the information in the SecurityCenter stays up-to-date.
5 Check the status of the last synchronization tasks.
Your account can contain both Active Directory groups and groups that you create in the
SecurityCenter.
