Domain Manager

Domain Manager Tool Functionality

The Domain Manager Tool performs the following functions:

  • Creates a Cisco Root OU named Cisco_ICM in the domain. After Domain Manager creates this root OU, it also creates two domain local security groups:

    • Cisco_ICM_Config

    • Cisco_ICM_Setup

  • Creates a facility OU under the Cisco Root OU, and creates two domain local security groups:

    • <Facility name>_Config

    • <Facility name>_Setup

    The Domain Manager adds the <Facility name>_Setup group to the <Facility name>_Config group. The Domain Manager also adds security groups as follows:

    • Adds Cisco_ICM_Config group to <Facility name>_Config

    • Adds Cisco_ICM_Setup group to <Facility name>_Setup

  • Creates an instance OU under each facility OU, and creates three domain local security groups:

    • <Facility name>_<Instance name>_Config

    • <Facility name>_<Instance name>_Setup

    • <Facility name>_<Instance name>_Service

    The Domain Manager also performs the following operations:

    • Adds <Facility name>_<Instance name>_Setup to <Facility name>_<Instance name>_Config, because the setup group needs the permissions for the config group.

    • <Facility name>_Config group to <Facility name>_<Instance name>_Config

    • <Facility name>_Setup group to <Facility name>_<Instance name>_Setup

    The config security group has domain read write permission, so that the user in that group can create a users group as well as OUs in the domain.

For more information, see the chapter Organizational Units.

Open the Domain Manager

To run the Domain Manager, you must be a Domain admin or a domain user who has domain read write permission, so you can create OUs and groups.

Procedure

You can open the Domain Manager in the following ways:

  • Open the Domain Manager application from the Cisco Unified Tools folder.
  • Access through Start > Programs > Cisco Unified CCE Tools > Domain Manager.

Note
When the Domain Manager dialog box opens, multiple domains might display in the domain tree in the left pane of the dialog box. The default domain displayed is the domain the current user is logged into.

Domain Manager Window

The Domain Manager dialog box displays the current domain and the Cisco Unified ICM related OUs contained in the domain.

Figure 1. Domain Manager Dialog Box

Domain Manager Tree

The Domain Manager tree display provides a quick view of the Unified ICM created AD OUs and groups in the selected domains. You can display Multiple domains in the tree. The default domain displayed is the current machine domain. When you first expand a domain node, it is validated. The OU Validation Errors dialog box appears only if the error is due to missing or incorrect OU hierarchy information.

A context menu displays when you right-click any object in the Domain Manager tree. These menus provide additional functionality specific to the following level:

  • Domains

    • Add Cisco Root

    • Refresh

  • Cisco Root

    • Remove Cisco Root
