An Active Directory Site represents physical or logical sites that are defined on a Microsoft server. Each Active Directory Site is associated with an Active Directory Domain. A Microsoft administrator can associate multiple sites and networks with an Active Directory Domain. You cannot associate the same network with multiple Active Directory Sites. For more information about adding an Active Directory Site, see Monitoring Managed Microsoft Servers.
You can synchronize Active Directory Sites, along with the associated networks, from the Active Directory server. The networks that synchronize from the Active Directory server appears in NIOS as a network or a network container. The Active Directory Site to which the network belongs is displayed as an extensible attribute and associated with the respective network. For more information, see Managing Extensible Attributes and Associated Networks. When you create a new Active Directory Site on NIOS, the appliance synchronizes new Active Directory Sites and associated networks with the Active Directory server.
The appliance uses LDAP to communicate with the Microsoft server. For more information, see Configuring Microsoft Server and LDAP Connections. You can specify a site link for a given Active Directory Site. For more information, see Configuring Server Site Links.
You can assign relevant permissions for Active Directory Domains at the Grid level, network view level, or at the object level. For more information, see Configuring and Managing Server Permissions.
The appliance supports the following versions of Microsoft servers: Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Microsoft Windows Server 2008, Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2, Microsoft Windows Server 2012, and Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2, and Microsoft Windows Server 2016.
