I have a number of devices neither fitting the category "Human" nor "Computer", but needing some of their characteristics, like "email-address", or MAC.
e.g.
- IP-Cams: They need an email-address, and I need to store the MAC
- VoIP-Phones: Needs MAC, Exten, Phone-Nr., Model-Nr.
- Printers, but not having "\\server\QueueName" UNC paths.
My most pressing problem is are the IP-Cams, they send events via email, and my AD-connected mailserver is not happy, because the email-address cannot be looked up in the AD. But if I create the IP-Cams as "users", they will turn up in all sorts of users lists, etc. So none of the object templates fit really well. What's the recommended procedure for this case?
So I think my question boils down to: How do I create custom object type templates for AD in such a way, that the graphical RSAT continue to be able to display/manipulate them?
In case this info is needed: I use ADUC from RSAT@Win7Pro to connect to my AD-forest running on several Samba4 DC machines on Linux. Logon/Mail for human users works well, and normal PCs, so I don't think my AD is faulty.
OH, and yeah, If a mod wants_to/could migrate this to ServerFault, that is fine by me.
If one of the mods deems this Q more appropriate at ServerFault, I have no problem with this being moved there, and all my comments on this Q deleted. I would do I myself, but I don't know how. – Alex Stragies – 2016-07-05T20:04:28.730
