CREATING USER FOLDER

•Computers are not used by an


individual for personal use.
Computers are usually accessed
by more than one person. System
administrators are able to log on
locally if these accounts are in the
domain.
CREATING USER FOLDER

• A computer is able to
identify between one person
to another through a security
device called the user
account object
CREATING USER FOLDER

• Each user in the network has a unique


user account which contains the
contact details of the users as well as
what his/her rights and restrictions in
accessing resources/folders, etc.
FEATURES OF A USER ACCOUNT
• Password Security - Each user account is protected
by a password to provide authorization and access to
the system.
• Permissions - These are access privileges granted to a
user account (e.g. group memberships, user specific
settings to access resources, etc.)
• Identification - Having a user account means easily
identifying the person to the computer system and
network.
• User Rights - Having user rights is a high-level
privilege given to users or groups to define their action
on a computer system.
FEATURES OF A USER ACCOUNT
• Roaming - The administrator may define user accounts
in a way that a user is able to log on to any system
which is a member of a domain using a domain user
account, a Remote Access Service (RAS), or gateway.
• Environment Layout - Profiles are user-specific and
able to store information about the layout, desktop, and
user environment in general. They are specifically
restricted through the use of mandatory profiles.
• Auditing - The server can track access and use by
domain user accounts.

CONFIGURING USER ACCESS

• One of the first things to do in a new network is to


create Users, also called User Objects. As long as you
know the information about the user you need to
create, the process will take no time at all.
CONFIGURING USER ACESS
• To do from a Domain Controller, and you
should have the Administrative Tools in
your Start menu next to the Control Panel
link. We’ll choose the Active Directory
Users and Computers snap- in.
CONFIGURING USER ACCESS
• Once we’re inside the Active Directory
Users and Computers snap-in, we’ll need
to expand the domain in which we want to
create the user, and right-click on the Users
folder. We’ll then select New|User.
CINFUGURING USER ACCESS
• Once we’re inside the Active Directory
Users and Computers snap-in, we’ll need
to expand the domain in which we want to
create the user, and right-click on the Users
folder. We’ll then select New|User.
CINFUGURING USER ACCESS
• The New Object – User box will pop up and require you to put in
the user’s name and create the user logon. You’ll need to use a
standard method of creating user logon names, as this will cause
much less confusion in the future. If you have a small network,
you may want to just stick to using the first initial and last name
because it’s shorter. If you anticipate that your network will grow
quite large, the standard advice is to use the full first and last
name separated by a period, as we’ve done below.
CINFUGURING USER ACCESS
• Next we’ll give the user an initial password,
and make sure to have them change it as
soon as they first logon.
CINFUGURING USER ACCESS
• When we’re finished, we’ll get a nice
summary of work.
CINFUGURING USER ACCESS
• When we go back to the Users folder in
the domain, we can see our newly
created user.
CINFUGURING USER ACCESS

• Once we’ve created a user, there are many things that


we’ll need to do with them in order for them to be
useful, like adding permissions and security groups, but
at least the operation for spawning them is simple and
