Uncomplicated AD object management on remote server domain
Windows Server 2003 comes with different tools, also known as MMC consoles for managing the Active Directory. The most common of these tools is the Active Directory Users and Computers (ADUC) snap-in which is used for daily management of users and computer objects. With this MMC console, administrators can create, manage and delete user and computer accounts configured with the directory structure. In order to access this console, you have to navigate through Start menu to All Programs/ Administrative Tools and ensure that you are logged into a domain controller since only a DC contains this option.
Under Administrative Tools menu there are other snap-in consoles as well, such as the Active Directory Schema. Schema as we all know contains the attribute definitions of Active Directory objects, but in order to accommodate new definitions in the pool of the already existing ones, schema modification is required. Active Directory Schema MMC console is used for this purpose, although such modifications take place at the forest functional level.
On the other hand, the Active Directory Users and Computers console is strictly a domain level snap-in and does not allow you to work on the Active Directory at the forest level. With this tool, you can only work on the Active Directory objects specific to a domain. Furthermore, the domain which gets listed on the console is the one corresponding to the domain controller on which you will be logged on to. In case you wish to manage a different domain, say a remote domain for a different geographical location, you can take help of the Connect to Domain command. This command lets you search the required domain or enter the domain IP address to access it.
However, this was the case for a remote domain. What if the domain controller itself is situated at a different location? Well, Active Directory users and computers let you to manage domains even if you are not logged in domain controller. ADUC can be easily accessed from a member server by manually loading it on an MMC. This can be carried out by entering the MMC command at the Run prompt of the server to load the console with the tool.
However, for this option, you must have a server at disposal. Otherwise it becomes necessary to establish a Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) session with one of the servers. This protocol allows you to control server remotely, even a domain controller server. This way you can use the ADUC console even from a remote domain controller.
These hassles can however be avoided with the use of Lepide Active Directory Management and Reporting (LADMR) software. This AD management tool eliminates the need of MMC consoles like ADUC or ADS as it provides a single interface for all kinds of tasks like creating, managing and deleting user or computer accounts and viewing or modifying the AD schema. Whether you have to manage objects on a remote domain or local, this software will provide a single console tree where all the domains and their constituent objects can be viewed and managed easily without worrying about RDP sessions or DC server login.
