Specifies the directory as a path from the root of the volume, such as
public\winnt\nls\english
.
Profile
Profile objects help you manage login scripts.
What a Profile Object Represents
A Profile object represents a login script that runs after the container login script and before the user
login script.
Usage
Create a Profile object if you want login script commands to run for only selected users. The User
objects can exist in the same container or be in different containers. After you have created the
Profile object, you add the commands to its Login Script property. Then make the User objects
trustees of the Profile object and add the Profile object to their Profile Membership property.
Important Properties
The Profile object has two important properties:
• Login Script
Contains the commands you want to run for users of the Profile.
• Rights to Files and Directories
If you have INCLUDE statements in the login script, you need to give the Profile object rights
to the files included with the Rights to Files and Directories property.
1.3 Context and Naming
The context of an object is its position in the tree. It is nearly equivalent to a DNS domain.

Organizational Unit Finance, which is in Organization YourCo.
