Importing from an NT Domain Controller or NIS Server

Importing from an NT Domain Controller or NIS server is straightforward. The import is always done 
from the Domain Controller or NIS server that is serving the domain for the system running the 
EPICenter server. The type of system you are running determines where the EPICenter server looks for 
the information. 

In order to import information from an NT Domain Controller, the EPICenter server must be running 
with the appropriate user permissions in order to extract the information from the Domain Controller.
