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 will be assigned. The default value will be system name-software-
product name, where system name is the name of the system running Server Administrator, and
software-product name refers to the name of the software product defined in omprv32.ini (that is,
computerName-omsa).
NOTE: This command is applicable only on systems running the Windows operating system.
NOTE: Restart the Server Administrator service after you have configured Active Directory.
Table 8-16 shows the valid parameters for the command.
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.
