Title

Import of hosts NIS maps creating device type objects.
Description

When running the RFC 2307 NIS Map Import wizard, it is creating entries from the NIS hosts map as "device" objects in AD. These device objects include an ipHostNumber attribute, which in AD is not an associated attribute of the "device" class object.. Which AD object class should the NIS Map Import Wizard be creating for the hosts NIS Map?
Resolution

The IpHost is an auxiliary class to Device. IpHost object cannot be made however you can make a Device with the attributes from iphost. Please see below data from our lab:
$ sv -u host/ search -b cn=schema,cn=configuration,dc=cpr1,dc=vas -s one "(cn=device)" auxiliaryClass
dn: CN=Device,CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,DC=cpr1,DC=vas
auxiliaryClass: ipHost
auxiliaryClass: ieee802Device
auxiliaryClass: bootableDevice
$ printf "dn: cn=host3,CN=Computers,DC=cpr1,DC=vas\nchangetype: add\nobjectClass: ipHost\nIpHostNumber: 192.168.1.1\n\n" | /opt/quest/bin/ldapmodify -v -u administrator@cpr1.vas -w Test123 -c -H DC://cpr-ad.cpr1.vas@cpr1.vas
add objectClass:
ipHost
add IpHostNumber:
192.168.1.1
adding new entry "cn=host3,CN=Computers,DC=cpr1,DC=vas"
modify complete
