Adding Users and Privileges to Active Directory

The Dell-extended Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in allows you to add DRAC, Server Administrator, and IT

Assistant users and privileges by creating RAC, Association, and Privilege objects. To add an object, perform the steps

in the applicable subsection.

Creating a Product Object

To create a Product Object:

NOTE: Server Administrator and IT Assistant users must use Universal-type Product Groups to span domains with

their product objects.

NOTE: When adding Universal-type Product Groups from separate domains, create an Association object with

Universal scope. The default Association objects created by the Dell Schema Extender utility are domain Local

Groups and do not work with Universal-type Product Groups from other domains.

1. In the Console Root (MMC) window, right-click a container.

2. Select New.

3. Select a RAC, Server Administrator, or IT Assistant object, depending on what you have installed.

The New Object window is displayed.

4. Type in a name for the new object. This name must match the Active Directory product name as discussed in

Configuring Active Directory Using CLI on Systems Running Server Administrator.

5. Select the appropriate Product Object.

6. Click OK.

Creating a Privilege Object

Privilege Objects must be created in the same domain as the Association Object to which they are associated.
