Purpose of Linking Virtual Appliance to Active Directory Domain?

[User21000 0]

I would just like to know what the purpose of linking the ERA Virtual Appliance to an Active Directory Domain would be. Would that be used so I can sign in to the VA with domain credentials? Is there some sort of feature to synchronize endpoints with AD users? Will joining the VA create a Computer Account in the AD? To be clear, I'm using the ESET Remote Administrator Server Appliance.

Any information is appreciated, thanks.

It will enable you to:

• log in into ERA with your domain credentials
• synchronize list of AD computers with ERA (see AD synchronization task documentation)
• synchronize list of AD users with with ERA (see relevant documentation for user synchronization task)
