Configuring the Default Roaming Profile for all MysaNiTy User Accounts using Windows NT Workstations.

Roaming Profiles and MysaNiTy

After completing the ntwksta.exe configuration you will need to configure a Default Roaming Profile that all MysaNiTy user accounts will use. This will allow all MysaNiTy user accounts the full benefits of MysaNiTy’s security and desktop management. The following profile can be created on either NT workstation 4.0/2000 Professional  and run on either.

1. Logon as local administrator at a Microsoft NT 4.0 workstation, run all programs that all users will user and set and tool bars, desktop preferences, etc. the way you want them to appear for all users the first time a user logs in and runs that program.  If using Outlook Express run it also

 2. Start->Run -> regedt32.exe  and select: HKEY_CURRENT_USER  ->

 3. Highlight root key HKEY_CURRENT_USER

 4. Select Security (menu bar) -> Permissions-> Add -> Global Group Domain Users

 5. Select Type of Access as Full Control, then click OK

 6.                  Click the Box: Replace Permissions on Existing Subkeys -> OK-> YES

 

Copying  administrator profile to the server for use as a Default Roaming Profile.(ntuser.dat)

7.   When using a Windows NT 4 Workstation to create the roaming profile , you  need to logout and logon using the domain administrator account to complete the following steps.

8.  Right click  My Computer . Then Choose Properties-> User Profiles

9.  Select local/administrator profile if you are on a NT 4.0 workstation (Local = name of the local workstation. DO NOT Use domain/administrator).

10. Select Copy to.  Copy profile to: \\servername\aeprofile\profile.man .

11. Select Permitted to Use -> Change. Add the group DOMAIN/Users

    Click OK.  The local profile will now be copied to the server.

 

 

 

 

 

 

12.   Complete this step before generating any MysaNiTy accounts that will use roaming profiles on a Windows NT/2000 Pro Workstation(R). If you already have or have just added the first Windows NT Workstation(R) you can later update all accounts with the new Default Roaming Profile outlined below.

 a) On your server go to the c:\mysaNiTy\aeprofile\profile.man   folder.

 b) You should see the file ntuser.dat in this folder
