Having set up my nethserver as an A/D controller, I now find myself in something of a quandry.
I can set up users and shares etc. and have setup and connected windows clients etc.
Now my problem is i’d like to configure the clients but having never used A/D i have no idea where to start ( i was using a straight samba worklgroup server before ) for example how do i set it so that any new users logging into a particular machine get the same start menu for that specific machine or the desktop background is set to a a global background.
Any pointers to particular documents, books or web articles would be appreciated.
It seems you’re referring to “roving profiles” as well as a so called standardized default profile.
The first can be done with NethServer, but not out of the box. But it’s not too hard to create and activate user-profiles shares.
A standardized default profile is best created using a specialized user (Not administrator or equal!) and migrating everything using DefProf fom ForensiT Free Downloads (Free tool!).
