Managing Active Directory Scanners

If your organization uses Microsoft Active Directory (AD), you can import users, groups, Organizational units (OUs) and computers from multiple AD domains into the Endpoint Security Management Server. After the objects are imported, you can assign policies.

When you first log in to the Endpoint Web Management Console, the AD tree is empty. To populate the tree with computers from the Active Directory, you must configure the Directory Scanner.

The Directory Scanner scans the defined Active Directory and fills the AD table in the Computer Management view, copying the existing Active Directory structure to the server database.

Endpoint Security Management Platform supports the use of multiple AD scanners per Active Directory domain, and multiple domains per service.
