How to Configure Microsoft Operations Manager to Publish to the Active Directory (298771)

MORE INFORMATION

Use DasInstall.exe with the following parameters to publish information to the Active Directory:

First parameter	2 = Publish Active Directory information 3 = Remove Active Directory information
Second parameter	Domain Name System (DNS) name of the domain
Third parameter	Name of the server where the OnePoint database is installed
Fourth parameter	Name of the configuration
Fifth parameter	DNS name of the domain controller where the change will be written

In the following example, variables are shown in place of the actual names: MOM can publish the following types of information to the Active Directory:

• Published component information and use: The installation program publishes the association between the database name and the user-supplied configuration group name. The Microsoft Management Console interface uses this published association.
• Attributes bind to server name: MOM uses a service connection point object inside generic containers to organize information.
• Update frequency: Updates rarely occur after the initial implementation. Active Directory updates occur during installation of the first Consolidator in a configuration group.
• Keyword definitions and text:
  • Vendor GUID: EDDAAEE1-8CAD-11D3-B967-00A0C96904A6
  • Product GUID: EDDAAEEB-8CAD-11D3-B967-00A0C96904A6
  • Vendor Name: Mission Critical Software
  • Product Name: OnePoint Operations Manager
  • Group Name: Configuration Group
  • Common Names: All common names are the same as the LDAP display names. Common names can be extracted from the LDAP path.
  • LDAP path: LDAP://cn=configuration_name, cn=Configurations, cn=OnePointOperationsManager, cn=OnePoint, cn=system, dc=domain_name
  • Schema extension or modification: MOM does not extend or modify the schema other than to list the database and configuration group association under the base schema requirements.

Incremental disk storage for directory objects on partial replicas (Global Catalog servers)	Less than 10 KB
Network traffic to replicate updates to full replicas	Less than 10 KB a day for each domain controller (by default)
Network traffic to replicate updates to partial replicas (Global Catalog servers)	Less than 10 KB a day for each domain controller (by default)
