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 9-17 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.
