    Is Services for Unix Password Sync available in Server Core 2008 R2?   It looks like a feature of ADDS  (ADDS-Password-Sync)  but I can't see if/how I can enable it on a 2008R2 Core DC.

    Any help, references, pointers would be appreciated.

    Brian

    Those Roles/Features aren't available on my R2 Core DC with Get-WindowsFeature.   I was hoping perhaps the password sync might have been bundled under another heading or feature in core, or perhaps there might be a a way to run the components from SFU 3.5.  

    I guess I'll have to go with the full GUI on my production DCs.    

    Thanks!

    Hi Brian,

    As far as I know, Identity Management for UNIX Components is available on Server Core 2008 R2 as part of Active Directory Domain Services.

    To install it via Powershell, please try the following command:

    1.    Import-Module Servermanager

    2.    To install all Identity Management for UNIX components, type the following:

    Add-WindowsFeature ADDS-Identity-Mgmt –restart

    3.    To install only Password Synchronization, type the following:
    Add-WindowsFeature ADDS-Password-Sync -restart


    4.    To install only Server for NIS, type the following:
    Add-WindowsFeature ADDS-NIS -restart

    For more information, please refer to Install Identity Management for UNIX Components

    Thanks.

    Hi Brian,

    Yes, you’re correct, I didn’t verify the add-windowsfeature command, sorry the incorrect information.

    If you have more questions in the future, you’re welcomed to this forum.

    Thanks.
