Configuring ID mappings in Active Directory Users and Computers for Windows Server 2016 (and subsequent) versions

You can configure ID mappings in Active Directory Users and Computers (ADUC) for Windows Server 2016 (and subsequent) versions. You can also compare how IDMU attributes map to RFC 2307 attributes.

To configure ID mappings in Active Directory Users and Computers (ADUC) for Windows Server 2016 (and subsequent) versions, perform the following steps:

On the domain controller, click Administrative Tools and launch Active Directory Users and Computers (ADUC).
