4.4.3 Searching for devices registered in Active Directory

This approach is one way of searching for devices used in your organization. You can search for devices registered in Active Directory.

In the Settings module, select General, and then Active Directory. In the Active Directory view that appears, specify the domain information for the Active Directory you want to search. Then, in the Settings module, select Discovery, Configuration, and then Active Directory. In the Active Directory view that appears, specify the search condition and other necessary information. When you click the Start Discovery button, the search begins according to the specified schedule.

To search for devices registered in Active Directory:

1. In the Settings module, select General, and then Active Directory to display the Active Directory view.

2. Set the domain information of the Active Directory you want to access.

   To make sure that you can access the set Active Directory, click the Test button.

4. In Auto Discovery Schedule, specify the search schedule.

5. In Edit Discovery Option, specify whether to automatically include the discovered devices as management targets and whether to automatically deploy agents to them.

6. To send a notification email to yourself (administrator) after completion of the search, specify the notification destination in Notification of Discovery Completion.

7. Click the Start Discovery button in the upper right corner of the window.

The display changes to the Active Directory view (which is displayed by selecting Discovery, Discovery Log, and then Active Directory in the Settings module), and then the search is performed according to the specified search schedule.
