Resolution

goal
How do I enable the ability to view Active Directory 'Advanced Features' objects in Directory and Resource Administrator?

goal
Why do some User Objects display in the NetIQ Directory and Resource Administrator Web Console but not in the 32-bit GUI?

fact
Directory and Resource Administrator 7.x

symptom
Some users do not show up in DRA but do show up if viewed with ADU&C as long as the 'Advanced Features' view is enabled.

symptom
Some User Objects display in the NetIQ Directory and Resource Administrator Web Console but not in the 32-bit GUI.

symptom
Why do some user accounts not show up unless 'show advanced Active Directory objects' is selected?

cause
These user objects have a property associated with them called showInAdvanceViewOnly which has a value of 'true' set. This value is not visible in the standard user interface, but may be viewed and modified using ADSI edit.

fix

There are two options for resolving this issue.

  • Set the value for the showInAdvanceViewOnly property to 'False' on these user objects using ADSI edit.
  • Enable the viewing of 'Advanced Features' in DRA.
    1. Launch the Delegation and Configuration console.
    2. Expand the Configuration Management node.
    3. Right-click Administration Servers and select Update Administration Server Options.
    4. Click the Client Options tab.
    5. Select the check box for Show advanced Active Directory objects.
    6. Click OK.
