Description

Overview
If you have only write privileges for an organizational unit in Active Directory, you can still use Likewise.
You should, however, enable an organizational unit (OU) for Likewise only when you want to manage your Linux, Unix, and Mac OS X computers within a single OU and you do not have Domain Administrator or Enterprise Administrator privileges, but you have been given rights to create container objects in an OU. You can use the write privileges for the OU to join Linux and Unix computers to Active Directory and to associate a Likewise cell with the OU so that you can create Linux and Unix users.
There are limitations to this approach:
•
You must join the computer to a specific OU, and you must know the path in Active Directory to that OU.
•
After you install the Likewise Agent, you must manually set the license key on each Linux, Unix, and Mac OS X computer before you join it to the organizational unit.
•
You cannot use Likewise in schema mode unless you have Enterprise Administrator privileges, which are required to upgrade the schema.
This technical note assumes that you have already installed Likewise. For information about installing Likewise, see the Likewise Installation Guide or the Quick Start Guide at http://www.LikewiseSoftware.com.
