Using the CMC Directory Service 289
Installing the Dell Extension to the 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 RAC (CMC) devices, Users and User Groups, RAC Associations,
and RAC Privileges.
When you install your systems management software using the Dell Systems
Management Tools and Documentation DVD, you can extend the Snap-In by
selecting the Dell Extension to the Active Directory User’s and Computers
Snap-In option during the installation procedure. For additional instructions
about installing systems management software, see the Dell OpenManage
Server Administrator Installation Guide and Dell OpenManage Management
Station Software Installation Guide.
For more information about the Active Directory User’s and Computers
Snap-In, see your Microsoft documentation.
Installing the Administrator Pack
You must install the Administrator Pack on each system that is managing the
Active Directory CMC Objects. If you do not install the Administrator Pack,
you cannot view the Dell RAC Object in the container.
