Configuring System Update with Active Directory
Active Directory is a directory service. The directory is where information about
end users and resources is stored. The directory service allows access so you can
manipulate those resources. Active Directory provides a mechanism that gives
administrators the ability to manage computers, groups, end users, domains,
security policies, and any type of user-defined objects. The mechanism used by
Active Directory to accomplish this is known as Group Policy. With Group Policy,
administrators define settings that can be applied to computers or users in the
domain.
The following examples are settings that Active Directory can manage for System
Update:
v
Scheduler settings
v
Mapped Network Drive settings
