Configuring Domains in ADManager Plus  

During startup, ADManager Plus automatically discovers and adds all accessible domains. If you need to add additional domains or modify existing ones, you can do so through the Directory/Application Settings option.

Note: The procedure to add child domains and domains from the same or different forests is identical.

 

Adding a new domain  

To add a domain in ADManager Plus, follow these steps:

  1. Navigate to Directory/Application Settings located at the top-right corner of the interface.

  2. Under the Domains tab, click the Click here to add a new domain link. This will open the Add Domain Details dialog.

  3. Enter the Domain Name.

  4. In the Add Domain Controllers section:

    • Click Discover Now to automatically locate and add domain controllers using DNS.

    • Alternatively, manually add domain controllers.

    • The domain controller listed first will be considered the primary domain controller. Use the up/down arrows to prioritize the order of domain controllers.

  1. Check the Implement DC Sort Intelligence option to fetch data from the fastest domain controller based on response time. ADManager Plus will automatically adjust the priority order based on the results.

  2. Enter the authentication details of the privileged user account that will be used to communicate with the domain controllers.

  3. Click Add.
