Add Nodes by Active Directory

To add nodes that are in an active directory, you must first discover the nodes by providing the active directory details and then adding the nodes to the plan.

Follow these steps:

  1. On the Add Nodes by Active Directory dialog, enter the following details:

    Username

    Specifies the domain and user name in the domain\username format.

    Password

    Specifies the user password.

    Computer Name Filter

    Specifies the filter to discover node names.

    Cancel Plan Creation

    Cancels the plan that you just created.

  2. Click Browse.

    The discovered nodes are displayed.

    To add nodes, you have to select the nodes and verify.

  3. To verify, select the nodes, enter the user name and password, and then click Apply.

    The credentials are verified. Verified nodes are marked with green check marks. If a node fails verification, re-enter the credentials and click Apply again.

    Note: You must verify each node before you can add it to the list.

  4. Click Add to List.

    The selected node is added to the right pane.

  5. (Optional) To remove the nodes from the right pane, select the nodes and click Remove.
  6. Click Next.

    The nodes are added to the plan.
