Adding CMC Users And Privileges To Active Directory
Using the Dell-extended Active Directory Users and Computers Snap-in, you can add CMC users and privileges by creating RAC device,
association, and privilege objects. To add each object, perform the following:
• Create a RAC device Object
• Create a Privilege Object
• Create an Association Object
• Add objects to an Association Object
Creating RAC Device Object
To create RAC device object:
1 In the MMC Console Root window, right-click a container.
2 Select New > Dell Remote Management Object Advanced.
3 On the New Object page, type a name for the new object. The name must be identical to the CMC name that you type in the
Conguring Active Directory With Standard Schema Using Web Interface.
4 Select RAC Device Object and click OK.
Creating Privilege Object
To create a privilege object:
NOTE
: You must create a privilege object in the same domain as the related association object.
1 In the MMC Console Root window, right-click a container.
2 Select New > Dell Remote Management Object Advanced.
3 On the New Object page, type a name for the new object.
4 Select Privilege Object and click OK.
5 Right-click the privilege object that you created, and then select Properties.
6 Click the RAC Privileges tab and assign the privileges for the user or group. For more information about CMC user privileges, see
Types of Users.
Creating Association Object
The Association Object is derived from a Group and must contain a Group Type. The Association Scope species the Security Group Type
for the Association Object. When you create an Association Object, choose the Association Scope that applies to the type of objects you
intend to add. For example, if you select Universal, the association objects are only available when the Active Directory Domain is
functioning in Native Mode or above.
To create association object:
1 In the Console Root (MMC) window, right-click a container.
2 Select New > Dell Remote Management Object Advanced.
3 On the New Object page, type a name for the new object and select Association Object.
4 Select the scope for the Association Object and click OK.
