8.3 Creating Corresponding Windows Users

Some OES services, such as Novell iFolder, interact seamlessly with Windows users that have the same username and password as the eDirectory™ users.

For the exercises in this guide, you must now create Windows user accounts for the users listed in Table 3-1 and assign each user the same password you specified for the corresponding eDirectory account.

  1. On the Windows workstation, log in as an Administrator user.

  2. Access the Control Panel and select User Accounts and Family Safety > Add or Remove User Accounts (Windows 7) or User Accounts (Windows XP).

  3. Create a user account for each user in Table 3-1, specifying that the account is a computer administrator.

  4. Select the user after creating it, and then create the same password for the user that you specified in Step 6.

  5. Repeat from Step 3 for each additional user, then continue with Refreshing the List of iFolder Users.
