Connecting to the SMB Share and Creating Folders
To connect to the SMB share and create folders, follow these steps:
1. Create Parent and User Folders
2. Set User Permissions
Users can access their home/user folders through Windows Explorer (for example, \\mysystem\chrisb).
NOTE: If an SMB home share is disabled, the user folder and data in the container is not deleted. To access the data in
the folder, recreate the SMB home share with the previous home share settings values (path prex and folder template).
Create Parent and User Folders
1. In Windows Explorer, right-click the SMB share that you created and select Open from the pop-up menu.
2. Right-click the path prex and select Folder from the New menu.
3. Type a name for the folder.
This folder becomes the parent folder and the Windows domain name if the user folder template is domain-user.
4. Right-click the name of the parent folder and select Folder from the New menu to create a user folder.
5. Type the user name for the folder.
You can create multiple user folders at this point.
Set User Permissions
1. Right-click the user folder and select Properties.
The Properties window opens.
2. On the Security tab, click the Edit button.
The Permissions window opens.
