Configure

In this section you define the name of the domain served by IPBRICK as well as this fields (Figure 3.28):

• Domain Login:
  • YES: IPBRICK will be a Primary Domain Controller in the chosen domain;
  • NO: IPBRICK will not operate as a domain server.
• Default account network drive: The workstation drive where the user account will be mapped. Users with large volumes of data should store them there and not at the profile folders. The default setting is Z;
• Default type of profile: The profile in a Windows workstation is a group of folders that are stored normally at c:\Documents and Settings\user_login;
  • Roaming: In this case, when the user logs out from the workstation, all the profile folders are synchronized to the user personal account in IPBrick, located at \\ipbrick\user_login\.profiles. When he logs in again at the same workstation or at a different one, the profile will be synchronized back to the workstation;
    

    IMPORTANT NOTE: The system administrator should warn users not to accumulate big amounts of data, since, every time they login, that huge profile will have to be re-synced back to the user's workstation of choice.

  • Local: The profile will never be synchronized to IPBrick, all the user's document folders will remain at his local workstation.

$\Rightarrow$ Note: The information on this section is only valid for the MS Windows environment. The IPBRICK Domain Name field is related to the Workgroup or Domain Name in the MS Windows environment.
