Likewise Cell Manager

Authentication, Group Policy, Audit and Reporting

---

Cell Manager is a Likewise MMC snap-in for managing Likewise cells associated with Active Directory Organizational Units. Likewise Enterprise associates cells with Organizational Units to map Active Directory users to Unix user and group identifiers. Your Likewise cells can match the hierarchy of your Organizational Units, or you can use a default cell.

Cell Manager runs on a Windows administrative workstation that connects to your Active Directory Domain Controller to simplify the management of your cells and give you direct access to your Linux, Unix, and Mac users and groups. You can perform the following administrative tasks without using Active Directory Users and Computers:

• Delegate management
• Change permissions for a cell
• Add cells
• View cells
• Associate cells with OUs
• Provide users and groups with Linux and Unix access
• Change the UID or GID of a user
• Add and delete users and groups
• Connect to another domain
• Filter cells to reduce clutter
• Manage NIS maps

Automatically installed when you install the Likewise Enterprise Management Console, Cell Manager can be launched from the console.
