How to Add a New Windows User or Group
Prerequisites: The users you want to add must have been defined as local PC users on the server.
Simple file sharing must be disabled on the server. To disable simple file sharing,
right-click Windows' Start button and select Explore. In the window that opens, select
the Tools menu, then select Folder Options..., then the View tab. Scroll to the bottom
of the tab's Advanced Settings list, and make sure that the Use simple files sharing
(Recommended) check box is cleared. When ready, click OK and close the window.
Provided required users have been defined locally on the server, and simple file sharing is disabled
on the server, you are able to add Windows users the following way:
1. In the User administration window, click the Add Windows User... button. This will open the
Select Users or Groups window:
Note that you will only be able to make selections from the local computer, even if you click
the Locations... button.
2. In the Enter the object names to select box, type the required user name(s), then use the
Check Names feature to verify that the user name(s) you have entered are correct.
Note: If typing several user names, separate each name with a semicolon. Example:
Brian; Hannah; Karen; Sean
3. When ready, click OK. The required users will be imported, and listed in the User
administration window.
A user imported this way will appear as a Windows or Active Directory User in the list's
Type column. The user will furthermore be indicated by a user icon without the blue dot
used for Basic users.
When a user who has been added this way logs in with a Smart Client, the user should not specify
any server name, PC name, or IP address as part of the user name. Example of a correctly
specified user name: USER001. Example of an incorrectly specified user name: PC001/USER001.
The user should of course still specify a password and any required server information
