Configuring Active Directory Using CLI on Systems Running Server Administrator

You can use the omconfig preferences dirservice command to configure the Active Directory service. The

productoem.ini file is modified to reflect these changes. If the adproductname is not present in the productoem.ini file, a

default name is assigned.

The default value is system name-software-product name, where system name is the name of the system running Server

Administrator, and softwareproduct name refers to the name of the software product defined in omprv32.ini (that is,

computerName-omsa).

NOTE: This command is applicable only on Windows.

NOTE: Restart the Server Administrator service after you have configured Active Directory.

The following table shows the valid parameters for the command.
