As a best practice, specify all of the above parameters so that Windows accounts and NFS mappings
are created; however, you can provide finer control as follows. If you omit the /ldf option, the script
creates Windows accounts but not NFS mappings. Likewise, omitting the /usercmd option creates
NFS mappings but not Windows accounts.
The /execute option controls whether Windows accounts and NFS mappings are actually made to
the system. Omitting the /execute option will still create the output files (these are the
generateusers.cmd and ldf.out files as shown above). You can then examine these files to
see the actions that would have been performed had the /execute option been included.
The /userpassword option specifies the password that the script assigns when creating Windows
accounts for new users. You must use a password that meets the password strength requirements of
your system. By default Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 requires strong passwords. If you specify
a password that does not meet the requirements, the script will not inform you. It will create the
Windows account with a blank password and establish the NFS mapping. Until you change the
password to a non-blank value, NFS mapping is disabled for that Windows account. Any attempts
in UNIX to use that mapped user will result in Permissions Denied or Input/Output errors.
NOTE:
If users are created with a blank password because the /userpassword option was not given or
the specified password does not meet the password strength requirements of the system, those users
can log into the system console without the security that a strong password provides.

Verifying script execution

The following steps describe how to verify that the proper Windows accounts were created and the
NFS mappings were made when the nfs-adlds-config.js script is run. If there are problems, examine
the log file specified by using the /log option.
After the script is successfully executed, the users in the password file exist as Windows Users and
the groups from the group file exist as Windows Groups. You can verify this with Server Manager:
1. Click Start, right click Computer, and then select Manage.
2. Expand the Configuration and Local Users and Groups nodes.
The imported users and groups are listed in the Users and Groups folders, respectively.
