pnyce24 Posted April 23, 2013 Report post Posted April 23, 2013 If want to prevent prohibit ConfigMgr 2012 from publishing to Active Directory, can I just stop publishing to the active domain within the site server settings?

anyweb Posted April 24, 2013 Report post Posted April 24, 2013 the easiest way is to remove the computer account of that Configuration Manager site server in the security permissions of the System Management container in AD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pnyce24 Posted April 24, 2013 Report post Posted April 24, 2013 Thank Niall, I ended up just unchecking the active domain for the primary site server settings. However, if I do that will that remove the computer account of CM site server from the system managment container? I'm asking because when I went to the system Management container in AD my computer account of the SCCM 2012 primary site server was no longer there.... Strange I know.

Peter van der Woude Posted April 24, 2013 Report post Posted April 24, 2013 Nope, it's also not about the computer being in the System Management container. What Niall was trying to say, is that you can remove the security permissions of the computer account from the System Management container. This way it just doesn't have any rights anymore to write information in that container. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pnyce24 Posted April 24, 2013 Report post Posted April 24, 2013 Yeah, I understood what he was saying but I was just asking because for some reason after unchecking my domain within my publshing properties, I didn't my 2012 primary site server within system managerment anymore. I still see all my 2007 site servers but not my 2012 site server.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
