This step creates a computer object (a security principal) in the AD database.

  • Not Created - Computer not created 
 

 

 

Usage:

 

 

Example:

Let’s build and execute the “clsCreateADComputerDef” example:

  • Create a new process definition named “clsCreateADComputerDef” and open it in designer mode. 
  • Drag an “clsCreateADComputer” step to the canvas.
  • Connect the dots between the “Start” and “clsCreateADComputer” steps.
  • Click the "clsCreateADComputer" step to configure its "Required" properties. Provide a name for the step. Select the LDAP connection from the drop-down list. Enter the “Computer Name”. Click the Save button to confirm. Note: Click the "AI Predict" button to have the Copilot add new process steps that match your process description. 

 

  • The “Logging” configuration is necessary for documentation and also measures workflow progress and percent complete. This is achieved by configuring the step state and percent fields individually, as shown in the images below. Configure the “Logging” using the following properties.

 

  • Save the process definition, create a new instance, execute it, and render the process instance. 

 

  • Click the process step to view its properties. The step should create the Computer object and return the value “Created,” as shown in the example below.
