fix
When an Assistant Admin closes the Directory and Resource Administrator (DRA) MMC interface he is prompted with the following message:
'Save console settings to Directory and Resource Administrator .msc.'
This message is displayed because, by default, the DRA MMC interface is installed in Author mode, to allow Assistant Admins to modify, create, and delete views for their convenience and ease of manageability.
This message can be disabled by perform the following steps:
Launch the DRA MMC interface.
From the Console menu, select Options.
Select any of the following options under Console mode:
User Mode - full access 'Grants users full access to all windows management commands and to the console tree provided. Prevents users from adding or removing snap-ins or changing console properties.'
User Mode - limited access, multiple window 'Grants users access only to the areas of the console tree that were visible when the console was saved. Users can create new windows but cannot close existing windows.'
User Mode - limited access, single window 'Grants users access only to the areas of the console tree that were visible when the console was saved. Prevents users from opening new windows.'
Close the DRA MMC interface and save the settings when prompted.
NOTE: If using DRA version 6.30 SP1 and earlier the DRA snap-in is called NetIQ Administration.msc.
