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 Remote Console Switch devices, Users and User Groups, Remote

Console Switch 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 Remote Console Switch 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.

NOTE:

For more information about the Active Directory Users and Computers

snap-in, see your Microsoft documentation.
