Configuring Active Directory with Dell Schema

Extensions to Access Your RCS

Before you can use Active Directory to access your Remote Console Switch,

you must configure the Active Directory software and the Remote Console

Switch by performing the following steps in their numbered order:

1 Extend the Active Directory schema.
2 Extend the Active Directory Users and Computers Snap-in.
3 Add RCS users and their privileges to Active Directory.

Extending the Active Directory Schema (Optional)

Extending your Active Directory schema will add a Dell organizational unit,

schema classes and attributes, and example privileges and association objects

to the Active Directory schema.

NOTE:

Before you extend the schema, you must 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 two different methods. You can use the

Dell Schema Extender utility or you can use the LDIF script file.

NOTE:

The Dell organizational unit will not be added if you use the LDIF script file.

The LDIF files and Dell Schema Extender can be obtained at

dell.com/support.
To use the LDIF files, see the instructions in the readme that is in the LDIF

files directory. To use the Dell Schema Extender to extend the Active

Directory Schema, perform the steps in “Using the Dell Schema Extender.”
You can copy and run the Schema Extender or LDIF files from any location.
Using the Dell Schema Extender

NOTE:

The Dell Schema Extender uses the SchemaExtenderOem.ini file. To ensure

that the Dell Schema Extender utility functions properly, do not modify the name of

this file.
