Creating a Computer Account Object in Active Directory using adtool Command Computer account objects can be created in Active Directory, without switching over to a Windows management host, ahead of joining the computer to the domain. On the Unix or Linux client use the /opt/pbis/bin/adtool, with the new-computer action. This is useful for administrators who want to create named computer objects as one user, but run domain join operations as a different user with different privileges. Command /opt/pbis/bin/adtool -a new-computer <ARGUMENTS> Acceptable arguments ([X] - required): --dn=STRING DN/RDN of the parent container/OU containing the computer.

Updating DNS Records on Linux/Unix with AD Bridge Agent On a Linux or UNIX machine, an administrator can run the following command:/opt/pbis/bin/update-dns This command securely registers the machine’s IP addresses and corresponding PTR records in DNS using dynamic DNS updates. By default, it registers all interface addresses with the default FQDN, which is determined by either: the machine password store, or the canonical hostname returned by gethostbyname(gethostname()) if --nocreds is used. Note: The update-dns command does not run automatically. Each time it is executed, it updates the timestamp on the DNS record. If DNS scavenging is enabled, administrators can configure a cron job (for example, daily) to refresh the record’s date and prevent its removal. The update-dns comman
