In addition to the information in this section, see Common features of Active Directory Group, System, and User Discovery.
Use this method to search Active Directory Domain Services to identify :
* Local, global, and universal security groups.
* The membership of groups.
* Limited information about a group's member computers and users, even when another discovery method has not previously discovered those computers and users.
You can configure the following discovery scopes that control how this method searches for information :
Location : Use a location if you want to search one or more Active Directory containers. This scope option supports a recursive search of the specified Active Directory containers. This process searches each child container under the container that you specify. It continues until no more child containers are found.
Groups : Use groups if you want to search one or more specific Active Directory groups. You can configure Active Directory Domain to use the default domain and forest, or limit the search to an individual domain controller. Additionally, you can specify one or more groups to search. If you do not specify at least one group, all groups found in the specified Active Directory Domain location are searched.
Actions for Active Directory Group Discovery are recorded in the file adsgdis.log in the <InstallationPath>\LOGS folder on the site server.
