Adding and Removing Active Directory Information

For servers that are part of an Active Directory domain, you use the Active Directory page of the Server Properties dialog box to manage SQL Server information published in Active Directory services. The page has the following three buttons:

  • Add. Publishes information about a SQL Server instance in Active Directory.

  • Refresh. Updates information related to a SQL Server instance in Active Directory. This option is useful when you create databases, server cubes, or data-mining models, and you want the updates reflected throughout the directory before normal replication.

  • Remove. Removes information about a SQL Server instance from Active Directory.
