12To encrypt the file, select “Save in Encrypted Format” then enter and verify a passphrase.
You must supply the passphrase before an encrypted directory record can be used by a target server.
13Navigate to /AutoServerSetup/ in the directory where you want to save the setup, name the setup record, and click OK. When prompted, enter information required to authenticate yourself as a domain administrator.
Target servers search for record names in the following order:
generic (a record that any server will recognize, used to set up servers that need the same setup values).
14Make sure the proper infrastructure is in place so that servers you want to use the stored setup record can find it.
The directory server storing the setup record needs to be running. DHCP needs to be configured to identify the directory server to the target servers using Option 95. In addition, you may need to have DNS configured if your directory data includes host names.
