[. . . ] For some versions of Windows, the operating system stores the user environment (window layout and menu items) in the profiles share. Notes: When a user logs on to the domain, the user home directory is assigned this drive letter. For the logon drive to work for a given user, that user must have a home directory (see "Creating a User Account"). If no home directory exists, the drive specified here is not mounted for that user. Page 19 ©2005 Quasarbiz Document: VS100UM101 7 Type the name of the logon script in the Logon Script box. Note: The logon script is the name of an MS-DOS batch script that runs on the local machine when a user logs on to the domain. Because this same script is run for every user in the domain, it is a convenient place to set up a common environment for all users. For example, the logon script could be used to synchronize machine time (see the Microsoft net time command) or to map a common shared drive to a drive letter (see the Microsoft net use command).

WINDOWS SETUP PAGE PIC User Management - Basic The User Management - Basic page allows an administrator to manage user accounts when UBSA mode is enabled, and the JS100 unit is set up to operate in Workgroup Member mode.

A pool is a specified amount of disk space that contains one or more shares (see "Disk Management" for information about creating and managing disk pools). If more than one share is in the same pool, any space taken up by one share is space that is not available for the other shares in that pool, and if any one share fills up the space, no files can be written to any of the shares in that pool until some files are deleted. Shares in other pools however, continue functioning normally as long as there is available space in the other pools. Note: A disk pool must be created before a share can be created (see "Disk Management"). The JS100 unit supports the Microsoft file allocation table (FAT) file system. If a disk is claimed using the FAT system, the entire disk is a considered as a single share. A disk using the FAT system is called a legacy disk (see "Legacy Disk Management - Basic"), and a legacy disk share is called a foreign share. JS100 units support four protocols for accessing shares: Common Internet File System (CIFS) Network File System (NFS) Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) File Transfer Protocol (FTP) Windows machines use CIFS protocol; UNIX-based machines typically use NFS, and Web browsers use HTTP. FTP is an older internet protocol supported by both browsers and command-line-based clients. If they are enabled globally, they may be enabled or disabled independently for each share. [. . . ] A mirrored volume provides data redundancy by using two identical volumes, which are called mirrors, to duplicate the information contained on the volume. If one of the physical disks fails, the data on the failed disk becomes unavailable, but the system continues to operate in the mirror on the remaining disk. N net time The net service command that synchronizes the computer clock with that of another computer or domain. Used without parameters, net time displays the time for another computer or domain.
