After I`ve comletely setup the NT account I send the form indicating the username and password back to the office of the staff member.

What steps must be taken independent of the computer system (Manual Process)

Form filled out with correct signatures.

Which steps must be taken on a computer (Electronic Process):

Setting Up A NT Account 1) Open up User Manager for Domains 2) Under User Choose New User 3) The user name should be first initial last name or up to seven letters of the last name. 4) Continue to fill out information (ie Username, Full Name, and Description) 5) For Password assign a password then force the user to change password on next logon. 6) The user password should never expire unless specified by Supervisor. 7) Click the Groups icon. 8) Select the appropriate groups from the “Not member of” choices by highlighting the group name then choosing add. You can select more than one group at a time by holding down the Ctrl key and clicking on the group name. Once all groups are chosen click add. Once you’ve clicked add then hit OK 9) Now select the Profile icon 10) In this area you need to set the “Logon Script Name:” under User Profiles. Some examples of Logon Script Names are SARS.bat, Default.bat, Logon.bat, etc… You will have to check with the Network Administrator or paperwork to match correct Login Script with user. 11) Also within the Profile area you must set a path to the Home Directory. An example is Connect H: To \\skywalker\users\ccgreen where as ccgreen is the username and H: is the drive letter. Again check with the NA or paperwork to match correct Home Directories with correct users. Once all this is done hit ok. 12) You can leave the rest at the Default settings unless specified otherwise. Now hit OK to finish creating a New User/NT Account.

Notes (Cautions, suggestions for improvement, etc.)

The steps on how to setup an account for NT are in the instructions on how to setup NT accounts. If you use Hyena (if User Manager is setup correctly this will happen too) once you`ve setup the account it will take you right to Exchange to setup the email/mailbox for the new user. Usernames should equal 8 characters at most (For Ramon Smithenhaven - rsmithen). Passwords - usually equal the username and are set to expire upon first successful login.
