156 Using iDRAC6 Directory Service
If
Standard Schema
is selected, these are the addresses of the domain
controllers where the user accounts and the role groups are located.
NOTE: iDRAC6 does not failover to the specified domain controllers when
DNS lookup fails, or none of the servers returned by the DNS lookup works.

Under
Standard Schema Settings
, select the
Look Up Global Catalog
Servers with DNS
option and enter the
Root Domain Name
to use on a
DNS lookup to obtain the Active Directory Global Catalog Servers. If
already configured, the Global Catalog Server Addresses 1-3 are ignored.
iDRAC6 attempts to connect to each of the addresses (first 4 addresses
returned by the DNS lookup) one by one until it makes a successful
connection. A Global Catalog server is required only for Standard Schema
in the case that the user accounts and the role groups are in different
domains.
NOTE: iDRAC6 does not failover to the specified Global Catalog servers when
DNS lookup fails, or none of the servers returned by the DNS lookup work.

Select the
Specify Global Catalog Server Addresses
option and enter the
IP address or the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) of the Global
Catalog server(s). DNS lookup is not performed. At least one of the three
addresses is required to be configured. iDRAC6 attempts to connect to
each of the configured addresses one by one until it makes a successful
connection.
NOTE: The Global Catalog server is required only for Standard Schema when
the user accounts and role groups are in different domains. And, in this
multiple domain case, only the Universal Group can be used. If you use
iDRAC6 Web GUI to configure Active Directory, you need to enter a Global
Address even though the user and group are in the same domain.
