Windows 200x Active Directory
Active Directory, a central component of Windows 200x, manages information about the resources in a networking
environment. The Storage Mirroring service automatically registers with Active Directory when the service starts. Storage
Mirroring servers on the network can be located by the Storage Mirroring heartbeats, by Active Directory, or both. Active
Directory strengthens network security by requiring the user account running the Storage Mirroring service to have specific
privileges.
Disabling Active Directory
From the Management Console, select File , Options if you want to disable Active Directory.
Under Automatic Service Discovery, you can enable either Active Directory Advertisement , Heartbeat Advertisement , or
both.
! Active Directory Advertisement: With this option enabled, only the Storage Mirroring servers registered in Active
Directory will be displayed in the Management Console server tree.
! Heartbeat Advertisement: With this option enabled, all Storage Mirroring servers broadcasting Storage Mirroring
heartbeats on the specified port number will be displayed in the Management Console server tree.
NOTE: By default, both Active Directory Advertisement and Heartbeat Advertisement are enabled. If both
selections are enabled, Active Directory Advertisement takes precedence over Heartbeat Advertisement.
