Installing the Dell Extension to the Active Directory Users and
Computers Snap-In (Optional)
When you extend the schema in Active Directory, you must also extend the
Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in so that the administrator can
manage RCS devices, Users and User Groups, RCS Associations, and SIP
Privileges. The Dell Extension to the Active Directory User’s and Computers
Snap-In is an option that can be installed when you install your systems
management software using the Dell Systems Management Consoles CD. See
the Dell OpenManage Software Quick Installation Guide for further instructions
on installing systems management software.
NOTE: You must install the Administrator Pack on each system that is
managing the Active Directory RCS Objects. The installation is described in
the following section, “Opening the Active Directory Users and Computers
Snap-In.” If you do not install the Administrator Pack, then you cannot view
the Dell SIP Object in the container.
