Confirming the Presence of Domains
Prior to setting up VCM for Active Directory, you must confirm that all fully-qualified DNS Domains that
you want to manage have been discovered by VCM. Domains are discovered during the VCM installation
process; however, you may need to manually add Domains that were unavailable during the installation
process.
1. Click Administration | Settings | Network Authority | Available Domains.
2. Confirm that all Domains that you want to manage with VCM for Active Directory are displayed in
the data grid with their fully-qualified DNS names and a Domain Type of Active Directory.
3. If an Active Directory Domain is not listed in the data grid, click Add. The Add Domain dialog box
appears.
4. In the Name text box, type a fully-qualified DNS Domain name,
5. Select the AD type.
6. Click OK. Repeat the adding process to add additional Active Directory Domains.
