 Posted: Tue May 16, 2006 3:21 am Post subject: Active Directory Application Mode (ADAM) Question |
 |
|
Hello everyone, I'm curious to know if there's a way to add the computer
class into ADAM from Active Directory somehow. I've searched around for
ways to do this but haven't really found anything about it. I'm
interested in building a .NET application that pulls out a list of
computer objects (from an Active Directory domain) to perform operations
on them, but for now, since I don't have the computer object in my ADAM
test schema, I'm testing with just user accounts by simply grabbing the
name property; Eventually I'd like to have a fully working test system
without operating on our production domain. I checked out ldifde and
ADAM-adsiedit to see if I could export/import a portion of the schema,
but I didn't really see anything. Since this question is geared towards
the schema of my directory service, I figured this place would be the
most appropriate place to post it. Thanks for any input

I *think* this is the tool you're looking for. ADSchemaAnalyzer (I haven't
used this for this purpose, but I believe it does what you want).
Saying that, you could just get the schema ldif files from the W2K3
installation media and import those yourself. :)

Yes you can but they will not support actual computer objects. It is a basic
schema import.
