On this page you will learn how to set up a computer in ADAM and how to add it to the domain.

 

Important

• 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.

Follow these steps:

Step 1
Log in to the Web-Frontend ADM (opens in new tab) and select the domain of your institution.

Step 2
Click on Computer and then on Create Computer. You will see the following menu:

Please note: The prefix to your domain is already prefilled. This ensures that newly created computer objects are automatically assigned to the correct organization (OU).

Step 3
The computer name and (if desired) a description can now be entered. In addition, the computer can be assigned directly to one of your groups.

Step 4
Click Save to create the computer object in the ADAM domain.

Please note: Actually 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.
