Issue in adding Manager LDAP parameter

naveed.siddiqui

Hi All,
 
I am having problem creating a parameter. I am trying to create a report for all service accounts that have no Description and no Manager.
 
The LDAP attribute of Manager is Manager but in ER I can only see Managed By and not Manager, I thought 'Managed By' will work but it is not showing anything in the report.
 
If I need to include the Manager field to include in the report, what is the way ?
 
 
Thanks,

    In order to achieve this you will have to link fields from the Active Directory collection. The Managed By field is only collected with Active Directory not in the Computer discovery. Please refer to section "Modifying the fields to be Included" in the Report Manager user guide. support.quest.com/.../20

    Once you have added the Managed By field to the report you will then be able to create a hidden parameter and use the "Has a Value" operator with default value of "No". This will filter and shows only services where the service account has no description and no manager.

    Hope this helps.

    hi Angela,

    Thanks for your reply, actually I was getting 'Managed By' attribute in AD Discovery but what I meant was the I need to populate 'Manager' attribute from AD but there is no Manager attribute coming to ER instead there is 'Managed By' only.

    I thought that 'Managed By' in ER is equal to Manager in AD but that is not the case and I have verified it by doing tests.

    So is there a way to report Manager attribute in ER !?!?

    Our Managed By field is the Manager attribute. It is just the name that is different. Please ensure you are adding the correct Managed By field for the Domain User. There is also a managed by field available for the domain itself, domain computers and domain groups.
    In the 3.0 release build I did confirm that when the Manager attribute is set for a domain user, Enterprise Reporter is correctly collecting this value and storing in our Managed By field.

    If you are still experiencing issues please contact your support rep.
    Thank you.
