Using iDRAC6 Directory Service 137
Extending the Active Directory Schema
Important: The schema extension for this product is different from the previous
generations of Dell Remote Management products. You must extend the new
schema and install the new
Active Directory Users and Computers Microsoft
Management Console (MMC)
Snap-in on your directory. The old schema
does not work with this product.
NOTE: Extending the new schema or installing the new extension to Active Directory
User and Computer Snap-in has no impact on previous versions of the product.
The schema extender and Active Directory Users and Computers MMC
Snap-in extension are available on the Dell Systems Management Tools and
Documentation DVD. For information on installing, see "Installing the Dell
Extension to the Active Directory Users and Computers Snap-In" on
page 143. For further details on extending the schema for iDRAC6 and
installing the Active Directory Users and Computers MMC Snap-in, see the
Dell OpenManage Installation and Security User’s Guide available on
dell.com/support/manuals.
NOTE: When you create iDRAC6 Association Objects or iDRAC6 Device Objects,
select Dell Remote Management Object Advanced.
Extending your Active Directory schema adds a Dell organizational unit,
schema classes and attributes, and example privileges and association objects
to the Active Directory schema. Before you extend the schema, ensure that
you have Schema Admin privileges on the Schema Master Flexible Single
Master Operation (FSMO) Role Owner of the domain forest.
You can extend your schema using one of the following methods:
• Dell Schema Extender utility
• LDIF script file
If you use the LDIF script file, the Dell organizational unit will not be added
to the schema.
The LDIF files and Dell Schema Extender are located on your Dell Systems
Management Tools and Documentation DVD in the following respective
directories:
• DVD drive :\SYSMGMT\ManagementStation\support\OMActiveDirectory_
Tools\Remote_Management_Advanced\LDIF_Files
