[sims] Sims won't pick up AD computer objects in new OU's.

[Garacesh]

We're rebuilding AD, so I've made a new OU with a bunch of new computer names & GPO's and we've reimaged all the new computers with the right names. Now I go to push SIMS out to them and..

 

Computer browsing information. No computers found.

 

However, if I switch over to the 'Network' tab and provide hostnames or IP addresses, it works.

Hmm. Normally SOLUS stuff is DNS related, but if that were the case I would expect it to see stuff in AD but not in Network.

I assume SOLUS requires credentials to read AD, but I am not sure these are even visible on the UI - I can't find anywhere to set it so assume its part of the SOLUS setup routine - is it possible that these are no longer valid ?

Yeah we renamed a bunch of machines over the summer and SOLUS kept doing weird stuff with DNS records.

I thought so, too.

On the Targets screen where you can browse AD, there's a Change Domain button in the upper-right-hand corner, which I've gone through to check the creds are correct. Still nada.

 

For now I've added them manually, but not ideal in the long run.

Have you closed and reopened SOLUS? I find that it updates the AD structure on launch, so any changes don't get reflected in it until it is closed and reopened.
