Unix-enable an AD group from the *nix host (4260635)

Unix-enable an AD group from the *nix host

Use  the /opt/quest/bin/vastool create command :

* with -i flag to create a new Unix-enabled group

* with -e and -i flags to Unix-enable an existing AD group

Examples:

Create a new Unix-enabled group
-------------------------------------
vastool -u administrator create -i "marketing:x:1005:john,mary" group marketing

Unix-enable an existing AD group
-------------------------------------
vastool -u administrator create -e -i "marketing:x:1005:john,mary" group marketing


In the above examples, John and Mary are existing AD users we want to add as members of the group 'Marketing' in AD. You can leave this field blank if you do not want to add any users while Unix-enabling the group.
