Lab 5-9 Profiles

 

Have me check off the requirements below. Fill out the information on the second part of the lab report. Turn this in if you would like credit on this lab.

 

In this lab you are going to set a roaming mandatory profile for a group of users.

 

1.       Create a new OU and name if “Profile Practice.”

2.       Create five new users within that OU and name them Sateen, Christian, Duke, Toulouse, and Zidler.

3.       On your server, create a folder in YOUR %systemroot% named “Profiles”. Share this folder.

4.       In your workstation, log in as Zidler and do the following:

a.      Change the color scheme to Plum

b.      Change the backdrop to coffee.

c.       Create a shortcut on your desktop named “Moulin Rouge.”

d.      Create a text document in the “My Documents” folder and name it “Chocolat”.

5.       Log off. Log on as administrator.

6.       Right click on “My Computer” and select “Policies.”

7.       Set Zidler’s profile to roaming.

8.       Copy the profile to the Profiles folder you created on your server.

9.       On your server go into the Profiles folder and open up Zidler’s profile. Find NTUser.dat. Rename it to NTUser.man. (You may have to show hidden files to do this.) Set the security on Zidler to be allow everyone to read.

10.   Now, go into Active Directory Users and Computers. Open up Christian. Click on the Profile tab and type in the profile patch, which should be \\yourservername\profiles\zidler.

11.   Do this same thing for the Duke and Toulouse.

12.   On your workstation, log in as Duke and change the background. Log off.

13.   Log back on as Duke. Is your background still changed? Why or why not?

 

 

 

 

14.   If your background changed, check to make sure you followed the directions carefully.

15.   Log in as Sateen. Change the background. Log off. Log back on. Is your background changed? Why or why not?

 

 

 

 

 

16.   Test with Toulouse and Zidler.

17.   Shut down your server. Now on your workstation, try to log on as Zidler. Did it work? Why or why not?
