Note: Shinken Enterprise’s main purpose is monitoring servers, therefore we suggest you not load all your Active Directory elements like computers.
Filtering and tagging
This source also includes other parameters that will allow you to automatically “tag” your servers based on your active directory information:

contacts_match_memberOf_domain-admins CN=Domain Admins,CN=Users,DC=YOUR,dc=DOMAIN,dc=com
