ImportingfromanNTDomainControllerorNISServer
Importing from an NT Domain Controller or NIS server is straightforward. The import is
always done from the Domain Controller or NIS server that is serving the domain for the
system running the EPICenter server. The type of system you are running will determine
where the EPICenter server looks for the information.
In order to import information froman NT DomainController, theEPICenter server must
berunningwith theappropriateuserpermissions inorderto extract the informationfrom
the Domain Controller.
If you import information from an NT Domain Controller, that information will
become visible to all EPICenter user. If this is a security concern, you may want to
consider exporting information from the NT Domain Controller to a file, and using
that to create an import file that contains only the information that you want to be visible
through EPICenter Grouping Manager.
The import process imports the following information:
• For users: username, fullname, description.
• Forhosts:hostname,description,PrimaryIPaddress.
• For groups (users only): name, description, usernames of members.
