Installation Manual

Using the iDRAC6 Directory Service 151
Extending the Active Directory Schema
Important: The schema extension for this product is different from the previous
generations of Dell Remote Management products. You must extend the new
schema and install the new Active Directory Users and Computers
Microsoft
Management Console (MMC)
Snap-in on your directory. The old schema does
not work with this product.
NOTE: Extending the new schema or installing the new extension to Active
Directory User and Computer Snap-in has no impact on previous products.
The schema extender and Active Directory Users and Computers
MMC Snap-in extension are available on the Dell Systems Management Tools
and Documentation DVD. For information on installing these, see "Installing
Dell Extension to Microsoft Active Directory Users and Computers Snap-In"
on page 157. For further details on extending the schema for iDRAC6 and
installing the Active Directory Users and Computers MMC Snap-in, see the
Dell OpenManage Installation and Security User’s Guide available on
dell.com/support/manuals.
NOTE: When you create iDRAC Association Objects or iDRAC Device Objects,
ensure that you select Dell Remote Management Object Advanced.
Extending your Active Directory schema adds a Dell organizational unit,
schema classes and attributes, and example privileges and association objects
to the Active Directory schema. Before you extend the schema, ensure that
you have Schema Admin privileges on the Schema Master Flexible Single
Master Operation (FSMO) Role Owner of the domain forest.
You can extend your schema using one of the following methods:
• Dell Schema Extender utility
• LDIF script file
If you use the LDIF script file, the Dell organizational unit will not be added
to the schema.
