kingoftheworld 10 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Is there any way to have ERA retrieve and dynamically update the Description field within the ERA console with data from AD in the description field. My organization uses this field to store the physical location of the device, and this would be very helpful to have within one console. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RO55 1 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I had the same problem and submitted a feature request already. It doesn't really make any sense to not update the description field from AD when you are syncing everything else... For the time being I wrote a little Powershell script which reads the descriptions from AD and inserts them into the ERA DB. I have that running as a scheduled task every 10 mins and it does the job perfectly. If you're interested let me know... RO55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ESET Staff MichalJ 434 Posted February 23, 2017 ESET Staff Share Posted February 23, 2017 Hello, this option will be added to ERA 6.5. It will be possible to configure the LDAP parameters of the AD Sync task, to also sync Computer Description Attribute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RO55 1 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 I just installed ERA 6.5 but can't find any LDAP parameters to enable the description sync. Can you point me in the right direction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ESET Staff MichalJ 434 Posted April 5, 2017 ESET Staff Share Posted April 5, 2017 Hello, you should enable "LDAP fallback", choose "AD preset" and set to " COMPUTER DISPLAY NAME ATTRIBUTE" the attribute you want to have in the description field. I am inquiring with the KB team, whether this was properly documented already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
