Configuring a Home Site
To create a home site for a user, use the lmvutil command with the --createUserHomeSite option. To
create a home site for a group, use the lmvutil command with the --createGroupHomeSite option. You
can also use these options to associate a home site with a global desktop entitlement or global application
entitlement.
Syntax
lmvutil --createUserHomeSite --userName domain\username --siteName name [--entitlementName name]
lmvutil --createGroupHomeSite --groupName domain\groupname --siteName name [--entitlementName
name]
Usage Notes
You must create a site before you can configure it as a home site. See “Creating a Site,” on page 44.
These commands return an error message if the Cloud Pod Architecture feature is not initialized, the
specified user or group does not exist, the specified site does not exist, the specified entitlement does not
exist, or the commands cannot create the home site.
Options
You can specify these options when you create a home site for a user or group.
Table 5‑14. Options for Creating a Home Site for a User or Group
Option Description
--userName
Name of a user to associate with the home site. Use the format
domain\username.
--groupName
Name of a group to associate with the home site. Use the format
domain\groupname.
--siteName
Name of the site to associate with the user or group as the home site.
--entitlementName
(Optional) Name of a global desktop entitlement or global application
entitlement to associate with the home site. When a user selects the specified
global entitlement, the home site overrides the user's own home site. If you do
not specify this option, the command creates a global user or group home site.
Examples
lmvutil --authAs adminEast --authDomain domainEast --authPassword "*" --createUserHomeSite --
userName domainEast\adminEast --siteName "Eastern Region" --entitlementName "Agent Sales"
lmvutil --authAs adminEast --authDomain domainEast --authPassword "*"
--createGroupHomeSite --groupName domainEast\adminEastGroup --siteName "Eastern Region"
--entitlementName "Agent Sales"
