This is a big major changes to the IT market today. Now you will enjoy service profile functionality similar to blade system in Cisco UCS even though if you choose to deploy a rack mount base solution. Not every environment will go with blade system only, therefore Cisco UCS C series rack mount solution integrate with UCS manager is important. It is interesting to monitor the respond from others server vendor such as HP, IBM, DELL, SUN and etc  for this major improvement.

Here is the sample screen shot

  • Click Administrative Tools
  • Click Server Manager
  • Click Roles
  • Click Remove Roles
  • Click Next
  • Un-check Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services
  • Click Next
  • Click Remove
  • Click Close
