Your Active Directory contains configuration profiles downloaded
by each client system and name service data accessed by each client
system. As your environment grows, you may need to add additional
domain controllers to your environment. Follow these steps: Use the tool dcpromo.exe
to install and configure a new Active Directory domain controller.
For more information, refer to the respective literature on Active
Directory or check Microsoft's library at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp. Install Server for NIS to be
able to view and edit the posix attributes of your user objects.
Alternatively, the ADSI edit snap-in can be used to modify posix
attributes. This only needs to be done if posix attributes are being
maintained on this domain controller. Create a new profile that specifies
the new domain controller. The new profile can be identical to another
profile except the preferredServerList attribute specifies a new
domain controller. See “Creating
a New Profile”. See Appendix B “LDAP-UX
Client Services Object Classes” for
a description of the preferredServer attribute. On all clients that are to use
the new controller, edit the start-up file, /etc/opt/ldapux/ldapux_client.conf,
to refer to the new domain controller and the new profile. Modify
the
PROFILE_ENTRY_DN line as described under “Changing
Which Profile a Client is Using”. Modify the LDAP_HOSTPORT line to specify
the domain controller server. Download the new profile from
the new domain controller as described in “Download
the Profile Periodically”.
