3.2 Managing User Accounts
Setting up an eDirectory user account involves creating a User object and setting properties to
control login and the user’s network computing environment. You can use a template object to
facilitate these tasks.
You can create login scripts to cause users to be connected automatically to the files, printers, and
other network resources they need when they log in. If several users use the same resources, you can
put the login script commands in container and profile login scripts.
