blocks of IP addresses in named groups. In addition, the named IP address groups can be found in an
HP Web Jetadmin server file once they have been created. The contents of this file can be
manipulated on the fly to support discovery automation.
The path of these files is:
C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\Local\HP Inc\HPWebJetadmin

Active Directory discovery
HP Web Jetadmin provides a new discovery feature that queries Active Directory using an Active
Directory starting point such as domain, Organizational Unit (OU), or other Active Directory
containers. Characteristics of an Active Directory discovery are:
Finds both PC-connected and network devices
Requires a directory search start point (multiples possible)
Searches within a specified container or includes all sub-containers
Allows filtering based on Active Directory queue attributes: Location and Description
Populates Active Directory device attributes viewable in HP Web Jetadmin filters and columns
Figure 15 shows the Specify Active Directory
options pane within the Device Discovery wizard.
To enable Active Directory discovery, administrators
specify a starting point such as:
LDAP://YourOrg.com/OU=US,OU=Printers...
Administrators can also choose to perform recursive
queries, such that any sub-units below the specified
path are searched. If the Current level option is
selected, HP Web Jetadmin searches the immediate
child objects of the base object, excluding the base
object. The All levels option searches the whole
subtree, including the base object and all child
objects. The administrator can also perform
discovery on multiple Active Directory locations.
And, the discovery can also be filtered on both
location and description strings if these are
published to the Active Directory.
Active Directory and network device discovery
The Active Directory discovery method scans the directory for shared Windows printers when it is
used to find network connected devices. From the printer shares, the discovery is able to extract IP
address information from the printer port name. The following IP address string formats are supported
in discovering devices with this method:
ip_<ip-addr> (case insensitive)
mt:<ip-addr> (case insensitive)
***ip_<ip-addr> (case insensitive, “***” can be anything not containing “ip_”)
<ip-addr>:*** (case insensitive, colon after the IP address)
<ip-addr> *** (case insensitive, space after the IP address)
<ip-addr>-*** (case insensitive, dash after the IP address)
<ip-addr>_*** (case insensitive, underscore after the IP address)
