Auto create/assign structure from active directory OU structure
  • integraintegra October 2009

    Would it be possible to auto assign nodes to locations based on their OU in active directory? If you have lots of machines its kinda tedious to have to select them one by one and assign their location when that info is already in AD

    Definitely YES! This is the feature we are working on at the moment.

    Hi Ian, just wanted to let you know that version 3.8 features ActiveDirectory integration.... finally. Did you try it?

    Sorry I never responded. I didn't recieve an alert for your update. Well the AD integration does indeed work, sort of.

    What I see is that it displays nodes in the wrong ou. I.e a pc which is in domain->company->computers->PCs->site1 shows up in domain->domain controllers

    Tested the same issue in our lab. Everything works fine. Can you launch ADExplorer (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963907), expand all nodes and take a screenshot of the expanded network tree? Send it to us, please: help@clearapps.com

    I was doing screen copies when I realised whats going on.This client has quite a lot of boxes and we have:
    ou=domain,ou=domain controllers, ou=site1

    for the domain controllers *and*
    ou=domain, ou=company, ou=computers, ou=PCs, ou=site1

    for the PCs

    the key being that the final ou has the same name. In NIA the Pcs which are in site1 appear under the tree ou=domain, ou=domain controllers, ou=site1

    We were able to reproduce the bug. Fixing it now.

    Dear Ian,

    I've just sent new beta build of Network Inventory Advisor to your email address. The issue you experience has already been fixed in this build.

    We will be waiting for the test results from you.

  • integraintegra May 2011

    I can confirm that the latest build no longer mixes up OUs with the same name.

Howdy, Stranger!
