Using a Computer Accounts Preset

When you create a new computer account, you can choose any preset from the Presets pop-
up menu to apply initial settings, but you can still change the account settings to meet your
needs. Until you save account information, changing to a different preset overwrites earlier
information. Once the account is saved, the Preset menu dims and cannot be used again for
that account.

To use a preset for computer accounts:

1

Open Workgroup Manager.

2

Use the At pop-up menu to open the directory domain where you want to store the new
account, then click Accounts.

3

Click the lock and enter your user name and password.

4

Click the Computers tab, then click List.

5

Choose the preset you want to use from the Presets pop-up menu.

6

Create a new account.

7

Add or update settings as needed, then save the account.
