Powershell Active Directory Module si Windows 2003 Domain Controllers

Mai intai, sa vedem ce este, pe scurt, Active Directory Module pentru Windows Powershell : este un (super, dupa parerea mea) new-feature inclus in Windows Server 2008 R2 si disponibil in Windows 7 dupa instalarea RSAT (Remote Server Administration Tools). Modulul cuprinde o serie de cmdlets utile pentru administrarea Active Directory.

Initial, conditia necesara ca sa poti utiliza acest modul era sa ai in organizatie cel putin un DC cu Windows 2008 R2, deoarece modul de conectare la Active Directory este prin intermediul Active Directory Web Services, alta noutate adusa de Windows 2008 R2, nedisponibil in versiunile anterioare.

Intre timp, s-au schimbat cerintele : ai nevoie doar de Windows 7 cu RSAT instalate si de cateva update-uri pe un DC care ruleaza Windows Server 2003 SP2, 2003 R2 SP2, 2008 sau 2008 SP2. Am testat intr-un mediu virtual cu un DC Windows 2003 R2 SP2 Standard Edition si o statie Windows 7 Enterprise si voi descrie in continuare procedura:

Am instalat urmatoarele pe DC:

– .NET Framework 3.5 cu SP1 http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=AB99342F-5D1A-413D-8319-81DA479AB0D7&displaylang=en

– Windows Management Framework Core for Windows Server 2003 (include Windows PowerShell 2.0 si Windows Remote Management 2.0)

Dupa restart :

– am instalat Active Directory Management Gateway Service, am ales versiunea pentru Windows 2003 x86. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=008940c6-0296-4597-be3e-1d24c1cf0dda

Pe o statie cu Windows 7 :

– am instalat Remote Server Administration Tools

– am activat, din Control Panel, Programs and Features, Turn Windows features on or off, Remote Server Administration Tools, Role Administration Tools, AD and AD LDS Tools, Active Directory Module for Windows Powershell

Dupa toate acestea, am trecut la faza de testare :

Deci functioneaza.

Si mai obtinem inca ceva odata cu instalarea Active Directory Web Services. Intram iar in Control Panel, Programs and Features, Turn Windows features on or off, Remote Server Administration Tools, Role Administration Tools, AD and AD LDS Tools, AD DS Tools,

si avem si Active Directory Administrative Center, pe care il putem folosi pentru administrarea de la distanta a Active Directory, precum si pentru search dupa diverse obiecte si atribute :

De retinut ca Active Directory Module nu poate fi importat direct pe DC-uri Windows Server 2003 sau 2008, administrarea se face doar de pe o statie cu Windows 7 cu RSAT sau cu Windows 2008 R2.

Spor la treaba.
