other than device based SNMP Get Community strings (normally not used). In fact, HP Web Jetadmin, running
under the low privilege account, Network Service, takes the credentials of the user logged in through the
HP Web Jetadmin client and uses these to query the Active Directory.
You can choose to perform recursive queries meaning any sub-units below the specied path will be searched.
The administrator can also perform discovery on multiple Active Directory locations. And, the discovery can also
be ltered on both location and description strings if these are published to the Active Directory.
Characteristics of Active Directory discoveries for network devices include:
●
You can activate Active Directory discovery by specifying AD location(s).
●
You can optionally set location and/or description ltering to narrow Active Directory discovery.
●
You can optionally specify Active Directory recursion searching to one or all levels below the specied AD
location or locations.
●
Active Directory discovery scans the directory for printer shares.
●
IP addresses that are resolved from printer shares are queried using SNMP.
●
Printers that are qualied are populated into the HP Web Jetadmin All Devices list.
●
Discovery is fast.
●
Discovery does not require any special privileges and relies on public Active Directory search.
●
Discovery is accurate to the extent that network printers are shared and published through Active
Directory.
●
Discovery relies on the fact that a default port name in the Active Directory share actually contains the
printer’s IP address.
Active Directory Discovery discovers published print queues in a network’s Active Directory. To nd the IP
address of the network device to which the print queue is attached, AD discovery parses the print queue’s
port. An IP address can only be detected from those print queues with ports with the default format of
IP_www.xxx.yyy.zzz.
Active Directory Discoveries for PC-Connected Devices
Active Directory discoveries for PC-Connected devices use the LDAP protocol to identify Windows hosts on the
network. Each host identied is queried using the WMI protocol. Administrative credentials are required for this
discovery. Once a connection is established through WMI, the host is queried for a locally connected printer.
Characteristics of Active Directory discoveries for PC-Connected devices include:
●
Settings are identical to discoveries for network devices.
●
Discoveries for PC-Connected devices scan Active Directory for Windows hosts.
●
SNMP queries are attempted on discovered nodes.
●
If no SNMP Proxy Agent response, WMI queries are performed when credentials exist in settings.
●
Local administrator credentials are required to perform this discovery.
