Configuring

EasyUpdate

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

EasyUpdate:

v

Scheduler

settings

v

Mapped

Network

Drive

settings

Administrative

(ADM)

template

files

The

Administrative

(ADM)

template

file

defines

policy

settings

used

by

applications

on

a

client

computer.

Policies

are

specific

settings

that

govern

the

application

behavior.

Policy

settings

also

define

whether

the

end

user

will

be

allowed

to

set

specific

settings

through

the

application.

The

ADM

file

can

be

downloaded

from

the

following

Lenovo

Support

Web

site:

http://www.lenovo.com/support/easyupdate

Settings

defined

by

an

administrator

on

the

server

are

defined

as

policies.

Settings

defined

by

an

end

user

on

the

client

computer

for

an

application

are

defined

as

preferences.

As

defined

by

Microsoft

®

,

policy

settings

take

precedence

over

preferences.

When

EasyUpdate

checks

for

a

setting,

it

will

look
