Adding a domain to manage

The next main step to setting up Access Explorer is to add a managed domain. You can manage any domain that your service account can access, including a remote domain. A trust needs to be established between domains and it is useful to have a service account in the trusted domain that you add to Access Explorer.

You need the ID of the service account to add a managed domain. For more information, see Adding a domain to manage.

In this example, a managed domain is added to Access Explorer. Use the Get-AEServiceAccounts cmdlet to obtain the value for the ServiceAccountId parameter. Make sure the service account belongs to the domain specified by the DomainName parameter.

In this example, a new trusted domain is added to Access Explorer. First, a password is created and stored in the $secpasswd variable. Next, a service account with the password stored in the $secpasswd variable is added for the AMER1 domain. Next, the Get-AEServiceAccounts cmdlet is used to return the ID for the service account. Finally, the AMER1 domain is added.

Adding managed computers

Once the service accounts, domain, and database are created, you can add managed computers so data can be retrieved. The data can be seen in the Report Manager on the Explorer tab, or you can use a cmdlet to retrieve data for a specific share, folder, or file.

The cmdlet for adding a managed computer has several parameters, but we will show the minimum you need to accomplish the task.

This example deploys an agent to the AMERGENDC server with a deployment type of ManagementServerInstall, which automatically deploys an agent. The other deployment type, External, marks the managed computer as requiring an external agent installation. In most cases you will want to deploy as ManagementServerInstall.

All of the other parameters are not necessary and the default setting for those options (parameters) are correct for a normal install of the agent on the managed computer. In this case with a local install, all of the files (data roots) on the managed computer will be scanned for file access permission, which is the normal setting if done using Configuration Manager | Access Explorer | Manage Computers.

Using cmdlets to get information about Access Explorer objects

Most of the parameters used by Access Explorer cmdlets are identifications or IDs. To aid you in getting these IDs, there are of Get cmdlets that return the ID in a GUID format that you use in other cmdlets.

Getting service account information

You need the service account ID to add a managed domain. The Get-AEServiceAccount cmdlet returns the information for all of the service accounts that are available.
