3. Managing User Properties
Once you have created user accounts, they appear in the Windows SBS Console on the Users And Groups page on the Users tab. On the right side of the page, the Tasks list is split into two sections: User tasks,
which contains links to general tools, such as the Add A New User
Account Wizard, and a second section containing tasks that apply to the
currently selected user. These tasks enable you to work with the
attributes of the selected user object.
To modify the properties of a user account, use the following procedure.
-
Log on to your Windows SBS 2011 primary server, using an account
with network Administrator privileges. The Windows SBS Console appears.
-
Click Users and groups, and select the Users tab.
-
Select one of the user accounts on the page and, in the Tasks list, click Edit user account properties. The Properties sheet for the user account appears.
-
Select one of the following pages in the dialog box and use the controls provided to modify the user’s properties:
-
General Contains
the basic informational fields, such as name, email address, and phone
number, for which you supplied values when you created the user account.
-
Remote Access Specifies whether the user
is permitted to access the network from remote locations using Remote
Web Access and virtual private networking (VPN) connections.
-
E-Mail Specifies whether the user’s Exchange Server mailbox should be limited to a maximum size, and if so, specifies that size, in gigabytes.
-
Computers Specifies which computers on the network the user is permitted to access and what level of access the user is granted.
-
Folders Specifies whether the user’s
shared folder should have a storage quota and whether the user’s data
folders should be redirected to a server drive. You can also specify
the size of the storage quotas for each.
-
Groups Specifies the groups of which the user is a member.
-
Web Sites Specifies which of the default Windows SBS 2011 websites the user is permitted to access.
-
Click OK. The Properties sheet closes and the console applies the changes that you have made.
