Abstract
An example system for creating an active directory topology may determine whether an active directory site corresponding to a site name stored in a data input list exists and create, in response to a determination that the active directory site does not exist, the active directory site. The system may also determine whether a subnet corresponding to a subnet name stored in the data input list exists and create, in response to a determination that the subnet does not exist, the subnet.
Claims13
An active directory topology creation device, comprising:
- a storage module to store a data input list,
- wherein the data input list comprises an active directory site name, a site link name, and a subnet name associated with the active directory site name, and
- wherein the data input list further comprises a site link cost and a replication interval, the site link cost and replication interval being associated with the site link name;
- and
- a processing resource coupled to the storage module, the processing resource to:
- access the data input list;
- determine whether an active directory site corresponding to the active directory site name exists;
- create, in response to a determination that the active directory site does not exist, the active directory site;
- determine whether a subnet corresponding to the subnet name exists;
- create, in response to a determination that the subnet does not exist, the subnet;
- associate, in response to a determination that the subnet is not linked to its associated active directory site, the subnet with its associated active directory site;
- and
- update, in response to a creation of a site link, the site link cost and replication interval listed in the data input list.
A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium storing instructions that, if executed by a processing resource of an active directory topology creation device, cause the processing resource to:
- determine whether a site link corresponding to a site link name stored in a data input list exists;
- create, in response to a determination that the site link does not exist, the site link;
- update, in response to a creation of the site link, the data input list with a description of the site link;
- and
- update, in response to the creation of the site link, a site link cost and replication interval in an active directory, the site link cost and replication interval being stored in the data input list and associated with the site link name.
A method for creating an active directory topology, comprising:
- determining, by a processing resource, that an active directory site corresponds to an active directory site name stored in a spreadsheet exists;
- creating, in response to a determination that the active directory site does not exist, the active directory site;
- determining that a subnet corresponds to a subnet name stored in the spreadsheet exists;
- creating, in response to a determination that the subnet does not exist, the subnet;
- associate, in response to a determination that the subnet is not linked to its associated active directory site, the subnet with its associated active directory site;
- determining that a site link corresponds to a site link name stored in the spreadsheet exists;
- creating, in response to a determination that the site link does not exist, the site link;
- and
- updating, in response to a creation of the site link, an active directory with a site link cost and replication interval stored in the spreadsheet.
