How do I set up a computer in ADAM and add it to the domain?
Please note:
- New computer objects must always be created via the Web-Frontend ADM.
- The target domain for the domain join is "adam.rwth-aachen.de".
- The computer name must be adjusted with the three character prefix, before the domain join. This must match with the computer name in the ADM.
- First, log in to the Web-Frontend ADM and select the domain of your institution. The "Computer → Create Computer" tab should take you to the following menu:
- The prefix to your domain is already prefilled, this ensures that newly created computer objects are automatically assigned to the correct OU.
- The computer name and a (if desired) description can now be entered. In addition, the computer can also be assigned directly to one of your groups here.
- "Save" creates the computer object in the ADAM domain, the actual joining of the domain is then done locally on the client. The domain for joining is "adam.rwth-aachen.de" and not the domain of your respective institution!
