Adding Domains to an Inventory

You can add all of the servers from an Active Directory (AD) domain as assets to an existing inventory in Inventory Manager.

Before You Begin

The AD domains must be added to your CommCell environment. For information about adding a domain, see Adding Domains.
If the Index Server cannot connect to the AD server, do the following:
- Install the Data Analysis Toolkit package on a client that can connect to the AD server. For information about the Data Analysis Toolkit package, see Preinstallation Checklist for the Data Analysis Toolkit.
- Set up a one-way direct network connection from the client to the Infrastructure client group. For information about setting up a one-way direct network connection, see Setting Up a One-Way Direct Connection.
- Edit the domain that you want to add to an inventory: Select the Access AD server via client check box, and in the Client name box, use the client as the access node. For information about adding or editing a domain, see Managing Domain Controllers.
User SID mapping will work properly only if an index server assigned to an inventory is on same domain as the access node.
