Active Directory Discovery

●Details About Running an Active Directory Discovery

Active Directory Discovery requires your knowledge about the Active Directory domain. HP Web Jetadmin provides a new discovery feature that queries Microsoft Active Directory using an Active Directory starting point such as domain, organization unit (OU), or other Active Directory containers. In the case of network devices, HP Web Jetadmin scans the Active Directory for published shared printers. In the case of PC- Connected device discovery, HP Web Jetadmin scans the active directory for Windows hosts. From these initially discovered lists of nodes, HP Web Jetadmin finds and qualifies devices and then adds them to the All Devices list.

Active Directory Discoveries for Network Devices

Active Directory (AD) discovery requires your knowledge about the AD domain. Once the AD discovery is started, the LDAP protocol is used to query AD for published print shares. From print shares discovered, the Port Name field is checked for the default name forms which are all case-sensitive and include:

●IP_<ip-addr>

●mt:<ip-addr>

●***ip_<ip-addr>(*** can be anything not containing "ip_")

●ip_<ip-addr>:***(colon between the IP address and ***)

●ip_<ip-addr> *** (space between the IP address and ***)

●ip_<ip-addr>-***(dash between the IP address and ***)

●ip_<ip-addr>_***(underscore between the IP address and ***)

If any of these are found during the Node Discovery, the address is stored. Then, during the Node Resolve, the IP addresses are queried through SNMP to detect network connected printers. When network connected devices are discovered, they are added to the HP Web Jetadmin All Devices list. No special user credentials are needed other than device based SNMP Get Community strings (normally not used). In fact,

HP Web Jetadmin, running under the low privilege account, Network Service, takes the credentials of the user logged in through the HP Web Jetadmin client and uses these to query the Active Directory.

You can choose to perform recursive queries meaning any sub-units below the specified path will be searched. The administrator can also perform discovery on multiple Active Directory locations. And, the
