Non RM equip in CC3 AD?

[sparkeh]

Go asked a question from a school today that I am not sure on.

Anyone tried this or have ideas?

 

If we want to build a room that does not have RM stuff installed can we create a separate section in the AD out of RM AD settings? Will the machines pick it up? Also any other technical gotchas we got to think about?

 

I am aware of the license side at moment just looking at the technical side.

Yes you can do this. Simply create a new OU, apply the relevant policies and add computers to the domain in the traditional way.

Mark,

 

Give me a ring if you want to discuss/see this in action.

We do this with all our staff machines. I have a totally seperate section of AD called 'Not On RM' which has policy inheritance blocked, I then defined all my own policies for this section of the network. As long as you have sufficient CAL's for Server 2003 then there's no problem as you're not running any of the RM software on the clients, so no extra licenses should be necessary from RM.
