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.
