!!! Overview
We created a template LDIF file for your usage. (see [attached|NIX Workstation Conversions/computer-account.ldif]) Or, these may also work for you:
!! Execution
You may wish to edit the values in the [LDIF |NIX Workstation Conversions/computer-account.ldif]. (Check the operatingSystem: and operatingSystemVersion: values for instance)
Then from a [command-line], the following line should replace all entries in the LDIF file with value COMPUTERNAME with the TEST variable and save to a new ldif file. (We tested this on Linux using BASH)
Either set a variable or use $HOSTNAME (Which normally would be the "hostname -s" value)
{{{
TEST=ANEWHOST
}}}
Then execute:
{{{
sed 's/COMPUTERNAME/$TEST/' computer-account.ldif > $TEST.ldif
}}}
!! Add Computer
Then, to add the entry:
{{{
ldapadd -x -H ldap://adldap.YOURDOMAIN.net/ -D "CN=USERONE,OU=Sales,OU=Accounts,DC=YOURDOMAIN,DC=NET" -W -f $TEST.ldif
}}}
you should get a response like:
{{{
adding new entry "CN=ANEWHOST,OU=AIX,OU=Servers,DC=YOURDOMAIN,DC=NET"
}}}
! List Computer(s)
To check the entries in the OU=AIX container, use: (it may take a moment or two to show up)
{{{
ldapsearch -x -H ldap://adldap.YOURDOMAIN.net/ -b "OU=AIX,OU=Servers,DC=YOURDOMAIN,DC=NET" -D "CN=USERONE,OU=Sales,OU=Accounts,DC=YOURDOMAIN,DC=NET" -W -LLL 1.1
}}}
It will list the names like:
{{{
dn: OU=AIX,OU=Servers,DC=YOURDOMAIN,DC=NET
dn: CN=APC16S240b,OU=AIX,OU=Servers,DC=YOURDOMAIN,DC=NET
dn: CN=ANEWHOST,OU=AIX,OU=Servers,DC=YOURDOMAIN,DC=NET
}}}
! Delete Computer
To delete an entry in the container (Change the values for "CN=ANEWHOST,OU=AIX,OU=Servers,DC=YOURDOMAIN,DC=NET") and execute:
{{{
ldapdelete -x -H ldap://adldap.YOURDOMAIN.net/ -D "CN=USERONE,OU=Sales,OU=Accounts,DC=YOURDOMAIN,DC=NET" -W "CN=ANEWHOST,OU=AIX,OU=Servers,DC=YOURDOMAIN,DC=NET"
}}}
As the ldap utilities syntax varies from one host and version to another, these may need tweaking a bit.
