Adding domain controllers to a Computer Collection

You can add specific domain controllers to a Computer Collection. You can select domain controllers in the details pane after browsing the console tree and selecting the container that holds the domain controllers you want to add. Domains available for a forest are located under the Active Directory/Forest <Name> node; containers are located under domain nodes. You can add forests to the Active Directory node by using the Connect to Forest command on the node’s Action menu. A Computer Collection can hold domain controllers from multiple containers.

To add domain controllers to a selected Computer Collection

  1. Right-click the Computer Collection, select Add, and then click Domain Controller.

  2. In the Select Computers dialog box, enter the domain controller name or select Advance then Find Now and select the domain controller from the list and click OK. The Select Computers dialog box allows you to specify multiple domain controller names.

To add domain controllers to a Computer Collection

  1. Browse the console tree select and expand Active Directory, expand Domains then expand the domain and select the container that holds the domain controllers you want to add.

  2. In the details pane, select the domain controllers you want to add. To select multiple domain controllers, hold down CTRL, and click the domain controllers.

  3. On the Action menu or right click the select domain controllers, click Add to Collection.

  4. In the dialog box that opens, select an existing Computer Collection or click New Collection to create and select a new Computer Collection.

  5. In the dialog box, click OK.

Note

Alternatively, you can drag the domain controllers selected in the details pane to the target Computer Collection in the console tree or use the Copy and Paste commands.

You can add domain controllers to a Computer Collection by using an import file that contains a list of domain controller names or IP addresses. Importing domain controllers from a file overcomes the limitations inherent to the Select Computers dialog box and is convenient when you need to add a large group of domain controllers.

An import file is a text file that contains one domain controller name or IP address per line. For example:

123.123.123.123
Domain Controller Name 1
Domain Controller Name 2
213.213.213.213

To add domain controllers by using an import file

  1. Create an import file that contains domain controller names or IP addresses.

  2. Right-click the Computer Collection, point to Add, and then click Import Computers.

  3. Use the Open dialog box to locate and open the import file.

 

Adding containers to a Computer Collection

You can add containers such as Active Directory® domains, sites, or organizational units to a Computer Collection. When a Computer Collection includes a container, it implicitly includes all domain controllers that are in that container. You can select containers in the details pane after browsing the console tree and selecting a node that holds the containers you want to add.

Domains are located under the Active Directory/Forest <Name> node, organizational units are located under domain nodes. You can add Active Directory® forests to the Active Directory node by using the Connect to Forest command on the node’s Action menu.

To add a container to a selected Computer Collection

  1. Right-click the Computer Collection, point to Add, and then click Container.

  2. In the Domain box, select the domain that includes the container or type the DNS name of the domain. If you typed the domain name, click Connect to redraw the tree in the Containers box.

  3. Browse the directory tree in the Containers box to locate and select the container.

  4. In the dialog box, click OK.

Alternatively, you can add containers to a Computer Collection using the following procedure

  1. Browse the Recovery Manager Console tree to select the node that holds the containers you want to add.

  2. In the details pane, select the containers you want to add. To select multiple containers, hold down CTRL, and click the containers.

  3. On the Action menu, click Add to Collection.

  4. In the dialog box that opens, select an existing Computer Collection or click New Collection to create and select a new Computer Collection.
