You can confirm the presence of the Directory Service Integration feature by doing the following:

  • Verify the registry key setting
  • Verify that the computer is joined to the correct domain
  • Verify Active Directory operation

To perform these procedures, you must have membership in Administrators, or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority.

Caution: Incorrectly editing the registry might severely damage your system. Before making changes to the registry, you should back up any valued data.
