Active Directory Documentation#
The "Active Directory Documentation" add-on was designed and created as the first add-on with the Add-on Packager. The Active Directory Documentation add-on is designed to make it easier for administrators to document Microsoft environments. The add-on creates the necessary object types and categories.
Installation and License
The "Active Directory Documentation" add-on is installed like any other add-on via the Admin Center. The add-on does not require a license. However, it can only be used with the pro variant.
Contents of the add-on#
The "Active Directory Documentation" add-on brings a collection of object types, categories and Dialog+ entries.
Two new object type groups "Active Directory" and "Windows Systems" are created with the new object types:
| Active directory | Windows Systems |
|---|---|
| Domain | DHCP Server |
| Forest | DNS Server |
| Site | Windows client |
| Certificate authority | Window server |
In the following, the individual object types with the newly delivered categories are briefly explained.
Domain#
The delivered object type "Domain" allows to document the most common information of a domain.
The following categories are delivered with the object type:
| Category |
|---|
| Domain information |
| Domain schema |
| Domain structure |
| FSMO roles |
| Domain trusts |
| Assigned domain controller |
| Directory partitions |
| Assigned sites |
Forest#
The new object type makes it possible with the supplied categories to document all necessary information of a structure.
The following categories are delivered with the object type:
| Category |
|---|
| FSMO roles |
| Forest information |
| Forest trusts |
| Assigned catalogue server |
Certificate authority#
The "Certificate authority" enables the exact documentation of certificates. Here the name-giving object type makes possible to document the issuing certification authority, as well as the issued certificates.
The following categories are delivered with the object type:
| Category |
|---|
| Issued certificates |
| Zertifizierungsstelle |
Windows server#
The new object type "Windows Server" is fundamentally based on the object type "Server". Here, however, increased emphasis is placed on the benefit and its relationships to the Active Directory.

| Windows information |
DNS server#
The "DNS Server" object type is fundamentally based on the "Windows Server" object type. This enables separate documentation of DNS information. The "DNS Documentation" DNS add-on is available for special DNS documentation.
The following categories are delivered with the object type:
| Kategorie |
|---|
