link PRTG with AD

Votes:

0

Hello there, There was one year when we installed PRTG we did not want to link it to our Active Directory. Today we've changed our minds. I found how to link to our PRTG active directory, but that does not he may cause difficulties on our current configuration. If the connection is made, will it be possible to go back?

connecting your PRTG installation to the AD only means that you can now add groups from your AD to PRTG and users from that AD group can log in to PRTG.

If you remove the domain from PRTG the users will no longer be able to log in.

When you say the domain PRTG you talk about local user accounts?

Do you mean that you cannot login with the PRTG Administrator? The user will only appear if they have logged at least once. Otherwise you won't see him in the user management.
