User

Stores user attributes in AD.

•Assigns initial password only to new users

The extra attribute Extra_InitialPassword is stored only for new users, so only for records that are not yet in the Active Directory database.

•Assigns initial password to all users.

The extra attribute Extra_InitialPassword is stored for all selected records, so existing user passwords in Active Directory are overwritten with the current grid values.

•Overwrite existing user when these attributes values match (override list).

Before storing a new user, then for records with no value in the SID column, a search is performed in the existing Active Directory users with the same values matched to the attributes in the override list. The search criterion is met only if all values in the list match (logical AND operator).

If no user is found that matches the search criterion in AD, a new user will be created in Active Directory.

If only one existing user is found in AD that matches the search criterion, it is overwritten with the grid values. After overwriting, the information panel reports the user's membership groups and organizational unit before the overwriting operation.

If multiple users matching the search criteria are found, an error is generated in the information panel for the current record in grid and no change is made in Active Directory.

NOTE: Using this feature may cause a performance degradation in storage speed, especially when the override list contains many attributes.

Home folders and file system data

•Deletes the contents of the parent folder and rebuild all the shortcuts

Clear the contents of the target network folder and create a new shortcut structure

•Overwrite existing group when these attribute values match (Override list)

Before storing a new group, then for records with no value in the SID column, a search is performed in the existing Active Directory groups with the same values matched to the attributes in the override list. The search criterion is met only if all values in the list match (logical AND operator).

If no group is found that matches the search criterion in AD, a new group will be created in Active Directory.

If only one existing group is found in AD that matches the search criterion, it is overwritten with the grid values. After overwriting, the information panel reports the group's membership groups and organizational unit before the overwriting operation.

If multiple groups matching the search criteria are found, an error is generated in the information panel for the current record in grid and no change is made in Active Directory.

NOTE: Using this feature may cause a performance degradation in storage speed, especially when the override list contains many attributes.
