    Yes. In mixed mode, all objects used by the CMC querying process (among user, RAC Device Object, and Association Object) must be in the same domain. The Dell-extended Active Directory Users and Computers Snap-In checks the mode and limits users in order to create objects across domains, if in a mixed mode.

  • Page 154: Iom

    Can these Dell-extended objects (Dell Association Object, Dell RAC Device, and Dell Privilege Object) be in different domains? The Association Object and the Privilege Object must be in the same domain. The Dell-extended Active Directory Users and Computers Snap-In allows to create these two objects in the same domain only. Other objects can be in different domains.
