with Extended Schema using the RACADM command line interface (CLI)
tool instead of the Web interface.

Open a command prompt and enter the following RACADM commands:
racadm config -g cfgActiveDirectory -o cfgADEnable 1
racadm config -g cfgActiveDirectory -o cfgADType 1
racadm config -g cfgActiveDirectory -o
cfgADRacName <RAC common name>
racadm config -g cfgActiveDirectory -o
cfgADRacDomain <
fully qualified rac domain name >
racadm config -g cfgActiveDirectory -o
cfgADDomainController1 <
fully qualified domain name
or IP Address of the domain controller
>
racadm config -g cfgActiveDirectory -o
cfgADDomainController2 <
fully qualified domain name
or IP Address of the domain controller
>
racadm config -g cfgActiveDirectory -o
cfgADDomainController3 <
fully qualified domain name
or IP Address of the domain controller
>
NOTE: You must configure at least one of the three addresses. iDRAC6
attempts to connect to each of the configured addresses one-by-one until it
makes a successful connection. With Extended Schema, these are the FQDN
or IP addresses of the domain controllers where this iDRAC6 device is
located. Global catalog servers are not used in extended schema mode at all.
