You can acquire the information necessary for client management, such as client user information and computer information, from Active Directory, and use it in the managing server. The user information and computer information acquired from Active Directory is called directory information.
To acquire directory information from Active Directory, you execute the directory information acquisition command (dcmadsync.exe).
By acquiring directory information, you can use the user and computer information that is being managed by Active Directory as is. This means that you can import the user and computer information without having to acquire user inventory information. You can specify the acquired directory information as a job destination, or view it as client information in Inventory Viewer. Furthermore, by periodically executing the directory information acquisition command, you can keep the directory information up-to-date in sync with Active Directory updates.
You can specify whether to link to Active Directory during setup of JP1/Software Distribution Manager. The default is that Active Directory is not linked. Therefore, you must specify linkage to Active Directory if you plan to acquire directory information from Active Directory.
The directory information listed below can be acquired from Active Directory. You can also acquire the property information that is set in each type of information.
You specify which types of information to acquire from Active Directory in the parameter file that used when executing the directory information acquisition command (dcmadsync.exe). For details on how to create a parameter file, see 3.4.4 Creating a parameter file in the manual Administrator's Guide Volume 1.
By specifying the destination from the directory information, you can execute the following jobs:
In addition to acquiring system information, software information, and user inventory information, you can also count clients and print the results. For details about counting clients and printing the results, see 2.2.7 Uses of inventory information.
