For JS100 units that are also configured to support Network File System (NFS), the JS100 unit
®
assigns UNIX
user IDs (UID) and group IDs (GID) to files created through the Common Internet
File System (CIFS). User IDs are in the range 35000–40000; group IDs are in the range
42000–43000.
Primary Domain Controller Mode
A domain controller must exist on a network before you can create a domain. The domain controller
is the repository of user information.
Note: Each domain may have only one PDC. If a PDC already exists in a given domain, do not
configure the JS100 unit as a PDC
Different versions of Windows have different levels of support for domain membership. Windows
NT, Windows 2000, and Windows XP Professional fully support domain membership. Users of these
versions of Windows can use a JS100 unit to maintain user accounts and to use the additional
security features of domains. Windows 98 and Windows Me provide limited domain membership
support. Users of computers running on one of these Windows operating systems can have their
account information served by a JS100 unit, but they cannot use the additional security features of
domains. Users of Windows XP Home Edition cannot use PDC support in any way.
To configure the JS100 unit as a primary domain controller
1
Select the Primary Domain Controller Mode check box.
2
Type the domain name in the Domain Name box. Users wanting to join the domain must include
the domain name in the logon information.
3
Type the administrator user name in the Admin User Name box. The administrator account is used
to add, delete, and modify user and machine accounts in the domain.
Tip: The administrator account is separate from the one used to access the JS100 user
interface.
4
Type the administrator password in the Admin Password box and again in the Confirm Password
box. The administrator password is the password for the administrator account.
5
Click a pool in the Profiles and Scripts Pool list.
Notes:
When operating as a PDC, a JS100 unit stores some data about each user on the disk.
The JS100 software create two shares within the pool given here: profiles and netlogon.
Domain users do not need to be aware of these shares, but the administrator does to
ensure that there is enough disk space.
The netlogon share contains the logon script described in Step 6.
For some versions of Windows, the operating system stores the user environment
(window layout and menu items) in the profiles share.
6
Click a drive letter in the Logon Drive box.
Notes: When a user logs on to the domain, the user home directory is assigned this drive
letter. This is essentially an implicit net use command. For the logon drive to work for a given
user, that user must have a home directory (see
directory exists, the drive specified here is not mounted for that user.
