Univention Bugzilla – Bug 44964
No info regarding active directory takeover in domain settings
Last modified: 2020-07-03 20:51:20 CEST
If you are interested in migrating a Microsoft AD to UCS you will end up in our documentation (http://docs.software-univention.de/manual-4.2.html#windows:adtakeover). But this not clearly defines which domain settings you have to choose during the installation. On the other hand there is no reference in the installation chapter (http://docs.software-univention.de/manual-4.2.html#installation:Dom%C3%A4neneinstellungen) to the AD Takeover. The best and most user friendly solution (in my opinion) would be a separate selection in domain settings "Takeover an existing Active Directory Domain" A new and interested IT system provider asked for the missing information and ended up in several attempts to achieve a takeover.
This issue has been filed against UCS 4.2. UCS 4.2 is out of maintenance and many UCS components have changed in later releases. Thus, this issue is now being closed. If this issue still occurs in newer UCS versions, please use "Clone this bug" or reopen it and update the UCS version. In this case please provide detailed information on how this issue is affecting you.
