Scan for Domains in Local and Trusted Forests
If domains are added or removed from the local forest, or if two-way forest trusts between the local forest and one or more remote
forests are added or removed, use the
Data Collector Manager to scan for domains.
Prerequisites
The Data Collector must be configured to authenticate users with an Active Directory directory service and Kerberos.
NOTE: Authentication attempts for Active Directory users may fail while a rescan operation is in progress.
Steps
1. Expand the Dell Storage Manager menu, and then click Data Collector.
2. Click the Server tab, then click the Server Agent subtab.
3. Click Rescan. A message appears to inform you that scanning succeeded or failed.
4. Click OK.
