Manage Work in AD Bridge Cells

To manage your AD Bridge Cells, use the following tools:

• Active Directory Users and Computers: An AD Bridge Cell Settings tab is added to the dialog box of the following objects in the Active Directory Users and Computers MMC snap-in:
  • Domain
  • Users
  • Groups
  • Organizational Units
• Cell Manager: Cell Manager is an AD Bridge MMC snap-in for managing your AD Bridge Cells. Cell Manager is installed when you install the BeyondTrust Management Console.

The AD Bridge Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in can work without cells. The plug-in can manage the RFC2307 attributes on users and groups without using a cell. In this case, a Default Cell is assumed. The AD Bridge Cell Settings tab will display (Default (Assumed)).

For more information, see Use the btopt.exe Tool to Manage Options.

Ensure the account you use to manage AD Bridge Cell properties is a member of the Domain Admins group or Enterprise Admins group. The account needs privileges to create and change objects and child objects in Active Directory.
