Enroll an i5/OS group to the Windows environment using iSeries Navigator

This procedure enrolls all users in the i5/OS™ group to the Windows environment. You can find information about creating i5/OS user and group profiles in the iSeries™ Security Reference Link to PDF..

To enroll an i5/OS group and its members to the Windows environment, follow these steps:

  1. Expand Integrated Server Administration —> Servers or Domains.
  2. Right-click an available Windows domain or server from the list and select Enroll Groups.

    Note: Do not select a Windows workgroup. Enrollment to a workgroup is not supported.

  3. Enter a group name or select an unenrolled group from the list.
  4. (Optional) To use a template to create new users, specify a Windows user to use as a template when creating users in the group on Windows. If you change the user template after you enroll a user, the changes do not affect the user.
  5. Select Global if the group is being enrolled in a domain and the group should be visible to the domain. Otherwise, select Local . Windows server local groups can contain users and Windows server global groups, while Windows server global groups can contain only users. See the Windows online help for more information about group types.
  6. Click Enroll.
