Administer integrated Windows server users from i5/OS

One of the main advantages of Windows® environment on iSeries™ is synchronized, simplified user administration. Existing i5/OS™ user profiles and groups of profiles can be enrolled to integrated Windows servers, meaning that those users can log onto Windows server with the same user ID and password pair that they use to log onto i5/OS. If they change their i5/OS password, their Windows password changes as well.

For conceptual information, read the article: User and group concepts.

Here are some tasks you can perform:

• Enroll a single i5/OS user to the Windows environment using iSeries Navigator
• Enroll an i5/OS group to the Windows environment using iSeries Navigator
• Enroll i5/OS users to the Windows environment using the character-based interface
• Create user templates
• Specify a home directory in a template
• Changing the LCLPWDMGT user profile attribute
