There are always costs for provisioning and maintaining enterprise remote access controllers (RACs). For IT administrators who need to maintain system uptime using RACs, this would mean constantly monitoring current device configurations to make sure they are up-to-date with the latest configuration baseline, ensuring accessibility to these devices during disaster recovery scenarios and business continuity.
The Dell™ Remote Access Configuration Tool (DRACT) alleviates the system administrator’s challenges by automating some of the common repetitive tasks that would otherwise require scripting or individual configuration. DRACT provides a central console to discover and configure RACs for all systems on your network. The tool automates the Active Directory (AD) authentication configuration across a selected set of RACs.
To summarize the DRACT key features:
- Convenient and simple-to-use GUI to apply common configuration baselines across multiple RACs of different generations
- Discovers RAC IP addresses on the network so you can scan your network and discover the IP addresses of all the RACs regardless of their type/generation
- Updates firmware for selected RAC IP addresses on multiple RACs at the same time
- Configures standard- or extended-schema based AD settingsCreates RAC objects on the AD server for extended schema-based AD login
- Migrates multiple RACs from using one AD schema type to another AD scheme type
Learn how the DRACT application can be used to remotely automate common tasks to ensure uninterrupted access to a RAC during disaster recovery scenarios and how the tool performs common repetitive maintenance operations on a multitude of RACs.
