Administrator Guide

• Password
• Domain Name
If you select the option— Network without a domain, then you may enter the Workgroup, and then click Next.
NOTE: You can click Next even if you do not know the workgroup name.
• Home Network — To apply the changes, you must restart the computer, and then click Finish.
NOTE: Before restarting your computer, save any open les and close all
programs.
CAUTION: Exercise caution when joining the thin client device to a domain as the prole downloaded at logon could
overow the cache or ash memory.
When joining the thin client device to a domain, the File Based Write Filter should be disabled so that the domain information can be
permanently stored on the thin client device. The File Based Write Filter should remain disabled through the next restart as information
is written to the thin client on the restart after joining the domain. This FBWF is especially important when joining an Active Directory
domain. For details on disabling and enabling the File Based Write Filter, see Before Conguring Your Thin Clients.
To make the domain changes permanent, complete the following:
a Disable the File Based Write Filter.
b
Join the domain.
c Restart the thin client.
d Enable the File Based Write Filter.
NOTE
: If you use the Write Filter Enable icon to enable the Write Filter, the restart happens automatically. By default,
the NetXClean utility purges all but selected proles on the system when the thin client device starts up or when the
user logs o. For information on NetXClean utility, see Understanding the NetXClean Utility.
Using Roaming Proles
You can participate in domains by writing roaming proles to the C drive. The proles must be limited in size and it is not retained when
the thin client device is restarted. For successful downloading and proper functioning, there must be sucient ash space available for
roaming proles. In some cases, it may be necessary to remove software components to free space for roaming proles.
Using the Net and Tracert Utilities
Net and Tracert utilities are available for administrative use for example, to determine the route taken by packets across an IP network.
For more information on these utilities, go to www.microsoft.com.
Managing Users and Groups with User Accounts
Use the User Accounts window Start Control panel User Accounts to create and manage user accounts, create and manage groups, and
congure advanced user prole properties. By default, a new user is only a member of the Users group and is not locked down. As the
administrator, you can select the attributes and prole settings for users.
This section provides quick-start guidelines on:
• Creating User Accounts
• Editing User Accounts
• Conguring User Proles
