Adding Users And Privileges To Active Directory
The extended Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in allows you to add DRAC and Server Administrator users
and privileges by creating RAC, Association, and Privilege objects. To add an object, perform the steps in the applicable
subsection.
Creating A Product Object
To create a Product Object:
NOTE
: Server Administrator users must use Universal-type Product Groups to span domains with their product
objects.
NOTE
: When adding Universal-type Product Groups from separate domains, create an Association object with
Universal scope. The default Association objects created by the Schema Extender utility are domain Local Groups
and do not work with Universal-type Product Groups from other domains.

Console Root (MMC) window, right-click a container.
2. Select
New.
3. Select a RAC or Server Administrator object, depending on what you have installed.

5. Select the appropriate
Product Object.

OK.

Privilege Objects must be created in the same domain as the Association Object to which they are associated.
