Importing Active Directory containers
Use this task to import systems from your network’s Active Directory containers directly into
your System Tree by mapping Active Directory source containers to the groups of the System
Tree. Unlike previous versions, you can now:
• Synchronize the System Tree structure to the Active Directory structure so that when
containers are added or removed in Active Directory, the corresponding group in the System
Tree is added or removed also.
• Delete systems from the System Tree when they are deleted from Active Directory.
• Prevent duplicate entries of systems in the System Tree when they already exist in other
groups.
Before you begin
You must have appropriate permissions to perform this task.
Best practices
Implementation of this feature depends on whether you are creating the System Tree for the
first time or if you upgrading from a previous version with an existing System Tree structure
with which you are not using Active Directory integration.
If you have been using a previous version of ePolicy Orchestrator and already have a
fully-populated System Tree, you can still take advantages of Active Directory integration by
mapping your System Tree groups to Active Directory containers. You can use this feature to
create mapping points between Active Directory containers and System Tree groups to import
any new systems found in Active Directory to the appropriate location of the System Tree.
