2.10.3 Relationship between system configuration information and directory information

Computer and user information collected from Active Directory is assigned to the managing server's system-configuration information and displayed in the Directory Information window. For the content displayed in the Directory Information window, see 1.4.7 Directory Information window in the manual Administrator's Guide Volume 1.

How each information item is assigned is explained below.

The following figure shows the relationship between Active Directory and the system-configuration information.

In this example, the COM001 and COM002 DNS names in the computer information collected from Active Directory match the host names in the system-configuration information, but there is no information that corresponds to COM003. Therefore, COM001 and COM002 are assigned, but COM003 is not. During this process, icons indicating whether or not items have been assigned to the system-configuration information are displayed in the Directory information window ((1) in Figure 2-52). Note that the user information is displayed as part of the computer information in the Directory information window ((2) in Figure 2-52), and is not displayed in the hierarchy information in the left pane. The following figure shows the Directory information window that corresponds to Figure 2-52.

If multiple clients with the same name exist in the managing server's system-configuration information, and if that name matches the DNS name in the computer information in Active Directory (or the computer name if there is no DNS name), the first client found is assigned. If an unintended client is assigned, change it from the Directory information window. For details about how to change the assignment from the Directory information window, see 1.4.7 Directory information window in the manual Administrator's Guide Volume 1.
