Adding Users and Privileges to Active Directory
The Dell-extended Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in allows you
to add DRAC, Server Administrator, and IT Assistant users and privileges by
creating RAC, Association, and Privilege objects. To add an object,
perform the steps in the applicable subsection.
Creating a Product Object
NOTE: Server Administrator and IT Assistant users must use Universal-type
Product Groups to span domains with their product objects.
NOTE: When adding Universal-type Product Groups from separate domains, you
have to create an Association object with Universal scope. The default Association
objects created by the Dell Schema Extender utility are domain Local Groups and
will not work with Universal-type Product Groups from other domains.
