To edit passwd, group, and host map entries using Active Directory Users and Computers

Important

Do not use Active Directory Users and Computers to modify attributes of special users and groups, that is, users and groups with user identifiers (UIDs) or group identifiers (GIDs) of less than 100. If you do, the data returned by Server for NIS is not correct for those users and groups. Use the procedure described in Edit standard and nonstandard map entries using the command line interface instead.
