Active Directory multi-domain import

Hi,
Can you try to enter in the Windows Credential Vault a credential for your client domain ? Maybe it will allow RDM to retrieve the computer list.

Hey,
I'm not the Thread owner but facing the same situation. I added a wildcard entry for a customer domain to windows vault and also for several servers in RDM credential manager. The RDM import session wizard in active directory mode does not return any results for the query, including a refresh manually entering the domain name.

Thank you for the test, I will have to do some research.

If you need any assistance with your testing please let me know as i have access to tons of domains of different types. As i know lab resources are sometimes difficult; please feel free to PM me if you need help; as this is a great product.

Hi,
Thank you, I will keep you as a reference. I will let you know when I have a small prototype, maybe not this week, but soon.

Any update?...

Hi,
This feature was postponed, I will try to do it for the next major update. Sometime, we have to cut stuff, sorry about that.

Is this feature now live?

It's not there yet. My problem is that I don't have multiple domain yet. However we plan this soon.

Is this feature already available for use? I'm working as consultant and I'm working onsite with customers. My laptop is joined to my companies domain and most of the time the customer has his own active directory domain. I really like to have the option to import computers from a different domain. Thanks!

Hi,
This is still on out todo list. It's not available yet. This might be included in the next major release.

I realize this post is 4 years old, but any movement on this? I'm in a similar situation where I VPN into multiple client's networks and pulling a listing from AD would sure be a huge time saver. I would think connecting into an AD or LDAP data source would be something that could be added to the wizard, outside of the default computer domain, by adding in the ability to enter the name or IP address of either the domain/domain controller; DNS server and user credentials.

Any idea when or if this is going to ever be added?

Hello,

Please have a look at our AD Synchronizer, you would create one per domain that you want the information from. I would recommend disabling the "synchronize automatically" setting. I would assume you would run them manually at the frequency that works best for you.

Best regards,

Are we able to import the IP address into the name field?

I thought by using a template, but sadly no

the name of the session can only be either the common name, or the fully qualified domain name.

Sorry about that

Thanks Maurice,

This feature is very nice, however, as we have our customers DC's on VPN's; I can't take advantage of the feature as we use IPs to get to our customers machines as we can't see the FQDN.

Is there anything you can suggest that RDM may be able to do?

High-level ideas: Somehow have RDM automatically resolve the FQDN using the DC?
Might need to consider running a batch file on the DC and exporting results to a CSV file for RDM insertion.

It's a shame the AD sync can't use/resolve the IP? Is the possibility of this feature missing from windows? (Does the AD have an option to pass the IP?)

Hello,

Indeed, the IP is handled by DNS, not by AD.

We do have that CSV synchronizer, if you have a script that generates the csv file, simply drop it in a well known folder and run the synchronizer.

I would use powershell myself, it gives access to the classes that allow of IP resolution.

Our synchronizers will handle moves and deletes, as well as duplicate detection, so the task of your script is much simpler.

Just contact me by private message if you need help with that script


Best regards,
