MCU Outage affect on Unix hosts (4306437)

1. What affect would the MCU being offline have on Unix hosts QAS related functionality.
2. If new updates are needed for the clients (Adding User, creating New Groups) with the 4.0 MCU down.
   Can this still be accomplished manually, if needed?
   
   

MCU HOST OUTAGE CAUSE

• Network outtage
• System crash
• System Hardware failure
• MCU configuration error
• MCU upgrade from previous versions
• MCU host OS configuration error, ie. firewall, permissions etc.

1. If the MCU becomes dysfunctional this has no real effect on UNIX clients. The MCU is more of a management tool not an actual part of backend authentication or UNIX host to AD communication.
2.  Yes everything that you can do in the MCU you can also do manually. Most administrative tasks can be done directly in AD or on the UNIX host.
