Configure ADES AIM with NodeCfgUtil in Command Mode

NodeCfgUtil.exe lets you modify the AIM configurations for Active Directory and Exchange Server. When you use the utility in command mode, you can only add managed nodes to AIM configuration.

This command has the following format:

nodecfgutil esad -u user -p passwd -d domainname -e entity -o option

esad

Specifies the Active Directory and Exchange Server AIM.

-u user

Specifies the name of a user with domain admin & exchange admin privileges. In the format <user>@<fqdn>.

-p password

Specifies the user password.

-d domainname

Specifies the name of the domain that is monitored through the ADES AIM.

-e entity

Specifies the managed entity.

0

Specifies that the AIM monitors only Active Directory servers in the domain.

1

Specifies that the AIM monitors only Exchange servers in the domain.

2

Specifies that the AIM monitors both Active Directory and Exchange servers in the domain.

-o option

Specifies the option for providing management.

0

Specifies that the ADES AIM discovers and monitors all servers in the domain.

Note: Hosts of Child domains are not monitored.

1

Specifies that the ADES AIM discovers all servers in the domain but monitors only those that are configured through the manager.

Follow these steps:

1. Open a command prompt on the system on which the AIM resides.

   The command prompt appears.

2. Enter the following command:

   nodecfgutil esad -u user@fqdn -p passwd -d fqdomainname -e {0|1|2} -o {0|1}

   The utility writes a configuration file for ADES (esad.cfg) to the Sysedge_Install_Path\plugins\AIPCommon directory.
