For Active Directory to work with HCP, the HCP computer account must have certain permissions. The HCP computer account may either inherit its HCP management permissions from an AD group created specifically for this purpose or from the Domain Computers group.
If you are creating a new AD group to configure HCP management permissions:
1.On the Windows server from which you can access AD, click on the Start button and select Administrative Tools►Server Manager.
The Server Manager window opens.
2.Under Roles in the tree view in the left panel of the Server Manager window, expand Active Directory Domain Services►Active Directory Users and Computers►ad-domain-name.
3.On the View menu, select Advanced Features.
4.Under ad-domain-name, right-click on the OU or CN in which you want to create the AD group and select New►Group from the dropdown menu.
The New Object - Group window opens.
5.In the Group name field, type a name for the new group (for example, HCP Admins). Then click on the OK button.
6.In the left panel of the Server Manager window, double-click on the OU or CN in which you created the new group.
The middle panel of the Server Manager window lists the items in the OU or CN, including the group you just created.
7.Right-click on the new group and select Properties from the dropdown menu.
The Properties window opens.
8.Click on the Security tab.
9.With SELF selected in the Group or user names list, select the box for Write in the Allow column under Permissions for SELF. Then click on the OK button.
