The iLO 2 MP requires a secure connection to communicate with the directory service. This secure connection requires the installation of the Microsoft CA. For more information, see the following Microsoft technical references:

Preparing Directory Services for Active Directory

To set up directory services for use with the iLO 2 MP, follow these steps:

1.Install Active Directory. For more information, see the resource kit, Installing Active Directory in the Microsoft Windows 2000 Server.

2.Install the Microsoft Admin Pack (the ADMINPAK.MSI file, which is located in the i386 subdirectory of the Windows 2000 Server or Advanced Server CD). For more information, see the Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 216999.

3.In Windows 2000, the safety interlock that prevents accidental writes to the schema must be temporarily disabled. The schema extender utility can do this if the remote registry service is running and you have appropriate rights. You can also do this by setting

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SYSTEM CurrentControlSet Services NTDS Parameters Schema Update Allowed in the registry to a nonzero value (see the “Order of Processing When Extending the Schema” section of the Installation of Schema Extensions in the Windows

2000 Server Resource Kit), or by doing the following:

CAUTION: Incorrectly editing the registry can severely damage your system. HP recommends creating a backup of any valued data on the computer before making changes to the registry.

NOTE: This step is not necessary if you are using Windows Server 2003.

a.Start the MMC.

b.In MMC, install the Active Directory schema snap-in.

c.Right-clickActive Directory Schema and select Operations Master.

d.Select The Schema may be modified on this Domain Controller.

e.Click OK.
