Configuring Active Directory Environments

VCM for Active Directory collects Active Directory objects across domains and forests, and displays them

through a single console. The information is consolidated and organized under the Active Directory slider,

allowing you to view your Active Directory structure, troubleshoot issues, detect change, and ensure

compliance.

You can filter, sort, and group Active Directory data to pinpoint the specific area of interest. You can also

view a subset of your Active Directory (a forest, domain, or specific organizational unit branch) by setting

the Active Directory location in the AD Location field near the top of VCM. Dashboards display high level

information in graphical form, alerts notify you about problems or misconfigurations, and change

management tracks changes to the Active Directory objects or configuration by data type.

Configure Domain Controllers

To manage your Active Directory environment, you must verify domains and accounts, discover and

license domain controllers, install the VCM Agent, and collect data from the domain controllers.

Procedure

1. "Verify Available Domains" on page 194

Allow VCM access to each domain so that the VCM Collector can interact with the domain controllers

in your environment.

2. "Check the Network Authority Account" on page 194

Verify that at least one domain account with administrator privileges is available to act as a network

authority account for VCM.

3. "Assign Network Authority Accounts" on page 195

Select and assign the network authority account that you identified for VCM access to the domain

controllers.

4. "Discover Domain Controllers" on page 195

In your network, identify the domain controllers that you are managing with VCM.
