You cannot see the Unix Attributes tab in [easyazon_link identifier=”1449320023″ locale=”US” tag=”wn0d5-20″]Active Directory[/easyazon_link] on [easyazon_link identifier=”178439307X” locale=”US” tag=”wn0d5-20″]Windows Server 2012 R2[/easyazon_link] even when you install IdMU. You tried to re run the PowerShell commands to enable these features and the Unix Attributes tab is still not showing up. Apparently this can happen for two reasons:
- nisprop.dll is not properly registered
- adminPropertyPages attribute is not properly populated
In case this is your issue, you can very easily register the nisprop.dll and the Unix Attributes tab will appear again.
cd c:\Windows\idmu\common regsvr32.exe /u nisprop.dll regsvr32.exe nisprop.dll
As well this command line works in order to fix this issue
# Unregister nisprop.dll regsvr32.exe /u C:\Windows\WinSxS\amd64_microsoft-windows-rsat-server-for-nis_31bf3856ad364e35_6.3.9600.16384_none_c8d5e04e336a0267\nisprop.dll # Register nisprop.dll regsvr32.exe C:\Windows\WinSxS\amd64_microsoft-windows-rsat-server-for-nis_31bf3856ad364e35_6.3.9600.16384_none_c8d5e04e336a0267\nisprop.dll
Once you have executed the commands and successfully registered the nisprop.dll on the [easyazon_link identifier=”0735682674″ locale=”US” tag=”wn0d5-20″]Windows Server 2012 R2[/easyazon_link] – the Unix attributes tab is appearing back in [easyazon_link identifier=”0735626480″ locale=”US” tag=”wn0d5-20″]Active Directory[/easyazon_link] as before.
