Integrating iDRAC7 with Active Directory
25
Install the Active Directory Users and Computers Snap-In to MMC
The Dell Active Directory Snap-in extension is not fully functional in the Server Manager console. For
full functionality, use Microsoft Management Console as per the following steps.
Use the saved Console1.msc file or create a new console by running mmc.
Add the Active Directory Users and Computers Snap-In to the console as follows:
1. Go to File > Add/Remove Snap In.
2. Select Active Directory Users and Computers, click Add, and then click OK.
3. Expand Active Directory Users and Computers and then expand the domain name (test.lab). A
new container named Dell containing six iDRAC objects is displayed. There are three association
objects (Admin, Guest, and Power User) and three levels of corresponding privilege objects as
shown in the following figure.

Privilege and Role Names
The privilege names and role names are a different in Active Directory versus the iDRAC GUI as they are
renamed for iDRAC7. The earlier names are retained in the Active Directory schema extension for
backward compatibility.
The following tables map the prior generation privilege names and role names to the current
generation.
