2161DS-2 and AD Integration

Hi All,

 

I'm trying to get our new 2161DS-2 KVM integrated with AD.  I've followed the document at: www.dell.com/downloads/global/power/ps2q07-20070206-Ghosal-OE.pdf

 

I'm not sure why the KVM object needs to be in the Computers container rather than the Dell OU like all other (OMSA, DRAC, ITA) products...but that's another story.

 

When I connect to the switch via a web browser, I get certificate errors which reveal the original Avocent certificate is still in use even though I've supposedly uploaded out root CA one.

 

I've run the schema extender, etc but there just seems to be something missing.

 

Any help is appreciated.

    In the Dell RCS software program their is a context and index section (click on help) that better explains in detail on AD integration with the Dell switches. If you dont have the Dell RCS software it can be downloaded at dell.avocent.com.

    Thanks.

     

    Looks very similar to the User Guide I found on the CD.  Unfortuntely there's still a disconnect somewhere, and the instructions differ from my equipment.  For example the instructions say : "Select New - Dell SIP Object."  whereas my MMC Console says "New - Dell KVM Object", where a "Dell KVM SIP Object" can then be created.

     

    Do I have the wrong version of Schema Extensions and MMC Snap-ins?

     

    I still haven't been able to correctly upload our root CA certificate and replace the Avocent one (even though RCS says the certificate uploaded successfully.

     

    I found the DRAC4's needed a firmware upgrade (or two) to get AD authentication working.  Is there a minimum firmware requirement for the KVM?

     

    Thanks,

    Mark
