Using Subnet Credentials

For each subnet scope in Computer, File Storage Analysis, NTFS, and Registry discoveries, you can define subnet credentials for a computer or group of computers using wildcard expressions. For example, you can enter one credential for all computers in a domain using an expression such as *.domain1.corp. During collection, the subnet credentials will be used to access target computers instead of the node credentials or the alternate credentials.

* 
NOTE: During collection, the subnet credentials will be processed in the order in which they are listed. If a computer happens to match two expressions within the subnet credentials, it will only be processed once using the topmost entry in the table. Place more specific entries toward the top of the list and entries using wildcard characters toward the bottom of the list.

Choosing your Active Directory Scopes

Active Directory® scopes determine what information will be collected when you run the discovery. There are several steps you should take to properly design your discovery.

•
AD Discovery: Optionally select one or more domain controllers
•
AD Discovery: Decide what to collect from any domain in the discovery

AD Discovery: Include scopes

You can include domains, OUs and containers in your scope. You can collect the same domain information in more than one Active Directory discovery with an additional option to create multiple tasks for each domain. For full information on using the browser to add scopes, see Step 2b: Choose scopes for your Office 365 discoveries .
