Configuring Active Directory on Systems Running IT Assistant
By default, the Active Directory product name corresponds to the machinename-ita, where machinename
is the name of the system on which IT Assistant is installed. To configure a different name, locate the
itaoem.ini file in your installation directory. Edit the file to add the line "adproductname=text" where
text is the name of the product object that you created in Active Directory. For example, the itaoem.ini
file will contain the following syntax if the Active Directory product name is configured to
mgmtStationITA.
productname=IT Assistant
startmenu=Dell OpenManage Applications
autdbid=ita
accessmask=3
startlink=ITAUIServlet
adsupport=true
adproductname=mgmtStationITA
NOTE: Restart the IT Assistant services after saving the itaoem.ini file to the disk.
