34 Chapter 3 Administering Windows Users, Groups, Computers, and Share Points
Working With Windows Settings for Users
A user account that can be used to log in to a Windows domain has settings for a
Windows home directory, a roaming user profile, and a Windows login script. You can
work with these settings in the Windows pane of a Workgroup Manager user account
window.
To configure Windows settings for a user account:
1 In Workgroup Manager, open the user account with which you want to work.
To open an account, click the Accounts button, and then click the small globe icon
below the toolbar and open the directory domain where the user’s account resides. To
edit the WIndows settings, click the lock to be authenticated, and then select the user
in the user list.
2 Click Windows and change the settings as needed.
User Profile Path: specifies the path to the user’s profile. Leave this blank to use the
default share point for user profiles, which is /Users/Profiles/ on the PDC server. (This
SMB share point is not shown in Workgroup Manager.)
To use a different share point for the user profile, enter the path using the universal
naming convention (UNC) format:
\\servername\sharename\usershortname
where servername is the NetBIOS name of the PDC server or a Windows domain
member server where you want the user share point stored; sharename is the name of
the share point on the server; and usershortname is the first short name of the user
account you’re configuring. You can see the server’s NetBIOS name by opening Server
Admin, clicking Windows in the Computers & Services list, clicking Settings, clicking
General, and looking at the Computer Name field.
Login Script: specifies the relative path to a login script located in /etc/logon on the
PDC server. For example, if an administrator places a script named setup.bat in
/etc/logon, the Login Script field should contain “setup.bat”.
Hard Drive: specifies the drive letter that Windows maps to the user’s home directory.
If you leave this blank, drive letter H is used.
Path: specifies the path to the user’s home directory. Leave this blank to use the same
home directory for Windows login and Mac OS X login, as specified on the Home pane
of Workgroup Manager. You can also specify this home directory by entering a UNC
path that doesn’t include a share point: \\servername\usershortname.
To specify a Windows home directory that is separate from the Mac OS X home
directory, enter a UNC path that includes an SMB share point:
\\servername\sharepoint\usershortname
