You can define permissions for Active Directory Sites on both the NIOS and Microsoft servers, but there is no relationship between these two sets of permissions and they are not synchronized. Configuring and Managing Server Permissions For example, if the Microsoft server points to a domain controller of domain, the appliance synchronizes abc.com domain in NIOS. To avoid any inconsistency within NIOS, the appliance synchronizes only the root Active Directory domain of the forest into the Grid. All these domains share the same sites and networks. Each forest can contain one or more Active Directory domains. The top level container in the Active Directory is called a Forest. Synchronizing Active Directory Domains on a Domain Controller

During a scheduled full upgrade, the synchronization of a Microsoft server is deactivated until the managing Grid member completes its upgrade.The appliance displays a warning message when you use a non-encrypted connection. Infoblox recommends that you use an encrypted LDAP connection between the Grid member and the Microsoft server. The Grid member always initiates the connection to the Microsoft server.The first synchronization replicates all Active Directory Sites and networks from the managing Grid member to the Grid Master. The Grid Master might also be affected by the initial synchronization.Infoblox recommends that the managing Grid member should not serve other protocols.

The amount of consumed resources depends on the number of Microsoft servers that are managed by the Grid member, the amount of data for synchronization and the synchronization frequency.

The networks that synchronize from the Active Directory server appears in NIOS as a network or a network container. You can synchronize Active Directory Sites, along with the associated networks, from the Active Directory server. For more information about adding an Active Directory Site, see Monitoring Managed Microsoft Servers. You cannot associate the same network with multiple Active Directory Sites. A Microsoft administrator can associate multiple sites and networks with an Active Directory Domain. Each Active Directory Site is associated with an Active Directory Domain. An Active Directory Site represents physical or logical sites that are defined on a Microsoft server.
