Customer Questions: We would like to add a "My Documents" child folder in each user's home directory while we bulk create users and for those users that have been bulk created. Can we do that with EMU?
Answer: Yes, EMU can support both procedures.
Add "My Documents" During User Bulk Create:
- Follow steps to bulk create users from a CSV file.
- Under the "NDS" tab, select the "Home Directory" page.
- Check the "Create Home Directory" option and click the "..." button to browse and select the parent folder to create user home directories.
- Configure any desired "Directory Settings" options.
- For "Directory Contents" options, click the "Modify" button.
- In the "Directory Settings" window, check "Create Directory in Home Directory" and specify "My Documents" (without the quotes) in the "Directory Name" text box. Click "OK".
- Continue with the rest of the user bulk create procedure. When the user accounts are created, the "My Documents" folder will be created in each user's home directory.
Add "My Documents" For Existing Users:
- In the file system on the server hosting user home directories, create an empty "My Documents" folder.
- In the NDS Information view, browse to and select the users to be modified.
- Right-click the selected users and choose "Modify Account(s)".
- Under the "Home Directory" tab, select the "Modify Home Dir - Adv" page.
- Under "Modify Home Dir - Adv", check the "Copy directory contents into user home directory" option. Click the "Change" button, navigate to and select the "My Documents" folder created in step 1 above. Click "OK".
- Select the "Copy Original Directory as new Sub-Directory" option.
- Make any other modification changes desired for those users.
- Click the "Modify" button to complete the procedure.
