DESCRIPTION

     This tool allows command-line configuration of the Active Directory.  dsconfigad has the same functionality for configuring the Active Direc-
     tory as the Directory Utility application.  It requires "admin" privileges to the local workstation and to the Directory to make changes.

     A list of flags and their descriptions:

     -add fqdn
	      The fully-qualified DNS name of the Domain to be used when adding the computer to the Directory (e.g., domain.ads.example.com).

     -alldomains enable | disable
	      This flag determines whether the plugin allows authentication from any domain in the forest.  When this is enabled, individual
	      domains will not be visible, only "All Domains". If it is disabled, you will have the ability to select the specific domains that
	      can authenticate to this computer. Enabled by default.

     -computer computerid
	      The "computerid" to add the specified Domain

     -force   Force the process (i.e., join the existing account or remove the binding)

     -ggid attribute
	      This specifies the attribute to be used for the GID of the group.  By default, a group GID is generated from the Active Directory
	      GUID of the group.

     -gid attribute
	      This specifies the attribute to be used for the GID of the user.	By default, a GID is derived from the primaryGroupID of the user
	      (typically Domain Users).

     -groups group1,group2,...
	      Use the listed groups to determine who has local administrative privileges on this computer.  Groups can be specified by domain to
	      ensure security is not compromised, e.g., "domain admins@domain.ads.demo.com"

     -help    Lists the options for calling dsconfigad

     -leave   Leaves the current domain (preserving the computer record in the directory).

     -localhome enable | disable
	      This flag determines whether the plugin forces all home directories to be local to the computer (i.e., /Users/username) (enabled by
	      default).

     -localpassword password
	      Password to use in conjunction with the specified local username.  If this is not specified, you will be prompted for entry.  Note
	      that using this option has a security risk due to a small window where the password could be captured from running process list.
	      Consider using the prompting mechanism to ensure passwords are not exposed unexpectedly.

     -localuser username
	      Username of a local account that has administrative privileges to this computer

     -mobile enable | disable
	      This flag determines whether the plugin will enable mobile account support for offline logon (disabled by default).  This flag is a
	      hint.  If the appopriate Workgroup Management settings exist for a user, this will not override, as directory settings for the user
	      take precendence.

     -mobileconfirm enable | disable
	      This flag determines whether the plugin will warn the user when a mobile account is going to be created.	This flag is a hint as
	      discussed in -mobile

     -namespace forest | domain
	      Sets the primary account username naming convention.  By default it is set to "domain" naming which assumes no conflicting user
	      accounts across all domains.  If your Active Directory forest has conflicts setting this to "forest" will prefix all usernames with
	      "DOMAIN" to ensure unique naming between domains (e.g., "ADDOMAINuser1").  Warning:  this will change the primary name of the user
	      for all logins.  Changing this setting on an existing system will cause any existing homes to be unused on the local machine.

     -noggid  Turn off any previously mapped attribute and generate the group GID from the Active Directory GUID.

     -nogid   Turn off any previously mapped attribute and use the GID from the directory.

     -nogroups
	      Disable use of the current groups for determining administrative privileges on this computer.

     -nopreferred
	      Turn off any previously specified server and default to dynamic server discovery.

     -nouid   Turn off any previously mapped attribute and generate the UID from the Active Directory GUID.

     -ou dn   The LDAP DN of the container to use for adding the computer.  If this is not specified, it will default to the container
	      "CN=Computers" within the domain that was specified (e.g., "CN=Computers,DC=domain,DC=ads,DC=demo,DC=com"

     -packetencrypt allow | disable | require | ssl
	      By default packet encryption is allowed but not required, but can be required or disabled (for example if debugging a problem).
	      This ensures that the data to/from the server is encrypted and signed guaranteeing the content was not tampered with and cannot be
	      seen by other computers on the network.

     -packetsign allow | disable | require
	      By default packet signing is allowed but not required, but can be required or disabled (for example if debugging a problem).  This
	      ensures that the data to/from the server is not tampered with by another computer before received it is received.

     -passinterval value
	      Set how often the computer trust account password should be changed (default 14).

     -password password
	      Password to use in conjunction with the specified username.  If this is not specified, you will be prompted for entry.  Note that
	      using this option has a security risk due to a small window where the password could be captured from running process list.  Con-
	      sider using the prompting mechanism to ensure passwords are not exposed unexpectedly.

     -preferred server
	      Use the specified server for all Directory lookups and authentications.  If the server is no longer available, it will fail-over to
	      other servers.

     -protocol afp | smb | nfs
	      This flag determines how a home directory is mounted on the desktop.  By default SMB is used, but AFP can be used for use with Mac
	      OS X Server or 3rd Party AFP solutions on Windows Servers (previously known as mountstyle)

     -restrictDDNS
	      Restricts Dynamic DNS updates to specific interfaces (e.g., en0, en1, en2, etc.).  To disable restrictions pass "" as the list.

     -remove  Remove this computer from the current Domain

     -sharepoint enable | disable
	      Enable or disable mounting of the network home as a sharepoint.

     -shell value
	      Use the specified shell (e.g., "/bin/bash") if a shell attribute does not exist in the directory for the user logging into this com-
	      puter.  Use a shell value of "none" to disable use of a default shell, preserving values that are only specified in the directory.

     -show    Shows the current configuration of the Active Directory

     -uid attribute
	      This specifies the attribute to be used for the UID of the user.	By default, a UID is generated from the Active Directory GUID.

     -username username
	      Username of a Network account that has administrative privileges to add/remove this computer to/from the specified Domain

     -useuncpath enable | disable
	      This flag determines whether the plugin uses the UNC specified in the Active Directory when mounting the network home.  If this is
	      disabled, the plugin will look for Apple schema extensions to mount the home directory.

     -xml     Output in XML rather than plain text.  Valid only with -show.

EXAMPLES

     Adding a computer to a Directory:

     dsconfigad -add domain.ads.example.com -computer ThisComputer -username "administrator" -ou
     "CN=Computers,OU=Engineering,DC=ads,DC=example,DC=com"

     Giving a set of groups administrative access to the local computer:

     dsconfigad -groups "DOMAINdomain admins,FORESTenterprise admins,DOMAINdesktop techs"
