Issue

 

You can trigger the "Active Directory Domain Controller" pattern by creating a process classifier.

Please note, conditions defined within Process Classifications are case sensitive.

Resolution

  • Navigate to Discovery > CI Classification > Process
  • Click on "New" and create a process classifier with the following parameters:
    • Table: Active Directory Domain Controller
    • Relation Type: Runs on::Runs
    • Condition: Name contains Microsoft.ActiveDirectory.WebServices
    • Click on Save and add the "Active Directory Domain Controller Pattern" as follows:
    • Under "Triggers probes", click on "Edit..."
    • Choose "Horizontal Pattern":
    • Click on "HorizontalDiscoveryProbe-Horizontal Patt" and choose "Active Directory Domain Controller Pattern on Windows"
    • Perform a rediscovery and Active Directory domains should get created in the "cmdb_ci_ad_controller" table.
