iLO requires a secure connection to communicate with the directory service. This requires the installation
of the Microsoft® CA. Refer to the Microsoft® technical reference Knowledge Base Article 321051: How
to Enable LDAP over SSL with a Third-Party Certification Authority.
Directory services preparation for Active Directory
To set up directory services for use with iLO management processors:
Install Active Directory. For more information, refer to Installing Active Directory in the Microsoft®

2.

the Microsoft® Knowledge Base Article 216999.
In Windows® 2000, the safety interlock that prevents accidental writes to the schema must be
3.
temporarily disabled. The schema extender utility can do this if the remote registry service is running
and the user has sufficient rights. This can also be done by setting
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\ServicesParameters\Schema
Update Allowed in the registry to a non-zero value (refer to the "Order of Processing When
Extending the Schema" section of Installation of Schema Extensions in the Windows® 2000 Server
Resource Kit) or by the following steps. This step is not necessary if you are using Windows® Server
