iLO2 Authentication Question

[chuckk281]

Jon had a customer query about iLO authentication:

**************************************************************************************************************

Please can anyone help answer the following customer query regarding iLO Authentication:

1. Is iLO Directory Services supported on Microsoft Windows Server 2008 – Active Directory? 

          a. If so is it supported on x64 platforms?

2.  Are there any special considerations for integrating the Onboard Administrator into Directory Services?

          a. Is this solely schema-less? Or are there MMC snap-ins and Schema Updates to allow  access control of Onboard Administrators?

Any help would be great.

For Q2:

You have the option between schema-less or a schema extension.  See
