To import RFC 2307 NIS map objects from a local file

Note: NIS Map file format that worked with the (legacy) VAS NIS maps does not work for the RFC 2307 nismaps. |
You also have the option to export the maps to LDIF.
A verification prompt displays.
The Results screen lists the imported maps and notifies you if there were any errors. You have the option to save the results to a file.
To view the NIS Map object you must enable View | Advanced Features in Active Directory Users and Computers.

The nisedit command line utility allows you to manage NIS maps stored in Active Directory as RFC 2307 objects. nisedit is located at /opt/quest/bin/nisedit and has been designed to be script- and automation-friendly.
To run the nisedit utility, specify one or more general options and then specify a specific sub-command which may have further options and arguments. The following table contains a complete list of supported nisedit commands and a brief description of each.
Command | Description |
---|---|
add | Add RFC 2307 NIS maps and/or entries to Active Directory. |
delete | Delete RFC 2307 NIS map or entries out of Active Directory. |
dump | Output RFC 2307 NIS maps and entries from Active Directory. |
modify | Modify an RFC 2307 NIS map or entries in Active Directory. |
list | List all RFC 2307 NIS map names from Active Directory. |
sync | Synchronize changes to RFC 2307 NIS maps in Active Directory. |
The group, passwd, and netid maps are provided directly from the vasd cache that is populated straight from Active Directory user and group objects, and cannot be edited with nisedit.
