  Using Data Igloo

Automatically Redirecting Newly Created User Profiles

Data Igloo provides an option to automatically redirect newly created user profiles. This feature 
saves time and effort for the administrator by ensuring that all newly created user profiles are 
redirected to the selected location automatically. 

Complete the following steps to automatically redirect newly created user profiles:

1. Go to User Profile Redirection tab. 

2. Select the 

Redirect any newly created user profiles to:

 check box to redirect newly created 

user profiles to a ThawSpace. 

3. Browse to select the location of the ThawSpace.

 

If a new user profile is created, it will 

automatically be redirected to the selected location.

If Deep Freeze status is 

Frozen, 

you can still redirect a User Profile. The files and 

folders related to the User Profile will be successfully moved even when the Deep 
Freeze status is 

Frozen

. However, the User Profile Redirection will not be retained 

when the computer is restarted.

The User Profile redirected to the target folder inherits permissions from its 
parent folder. In addition, the owner of the User Profile will be added to the folder 
with 

Full Control

 permissions.
