Active Directory Action Target

Use the Target (Identification Criteria) page to select one or more fields (columns) in the Access Analyzer source table that uniquely identifies the target Active Directory objects upon which to perform the action. This process enables Access Analyzer to locate those objects within Active Directory. Added fields are displayed in the textbox.

Active Directory Action Module Wizard Target page

Use the following options to configure the action:

  • Add – Adds the selected field and field type to the Selections pane

  • Delete – Removes the highlighted operation from the Selection pane

  • Field – The name of the column in the Access Analyzer source table. Select the field that uniquely identifies the target AD objects (represented by rows in the Access Analyzer table). The drop-down list displays the fields from the source data table specified on the Action Properties page. The list excludes any default fields such as HOSTSTATUS, on which actions cannot be performed.

  • Field Type – The type of data contained in the specified field. Access Analyzer must know the data type of the field selected above. Otherwise, errors may appear upon execution of the action and report results may be incomplete. The drop-down list contains the following field types:

    • Distinguished Name or DN
    • GUID
    • SID
    • WindowsID
    • E-Mail
    • Employee (employeeID)

NOTE: While one field is usually sufficient to identify AD objects, if specifying multiple fields, each field type can only be used once.
