Configuring The Systems Or Devices
For instructions on configuring the Server Administrator systems using CLI commands, see Configuring Active Directory Using CLI on
Systems Running Server Administrator. For DRAC users, see the Remote Access Controller 4 User’s Guide or Remote Access Controller 5
User’s Guide. For iDRAC users, see the Integrated Remote Access Controller User's Guide.
NOTE:
The systems on which Server Administrator is installed must be a part of the Active Directory domain and should
also have computer accounts on the domain.
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.
