Creating home directories using batch files

To satisfy specific demands of individual network environments, you can use a batch file, which is run when you create a home directory with One Identity Manager Service. Whether the home directory is ultimately enabled depends on the result of running the batch file.

To use this function, a Netlogon share must exist on all home servers. Subdirectories are added in the Netlogon share, which correspond to the NetBIOS names of the domain. If there is a batch file in this directory with the name HomePre.CMD, it is run before the home directory is added. If the batch file ends in failure (that means Errorlevel <> 0), the home directory is not added.

Pass the following command line parameters to the batch file HomePre.CMD to be used during the run (in the given order; database column names are used):

SAMAccountName (from table ADSAccount)

Ident_Domain (from table ADSAccount)

Ident_Server (from table QBMServer)

SharedAs (from table ADSAccount)

HomeDirPath (from table ADSAccount)

HomeShare (from table ADSAccount)

You can run another batch file again after adding a home directory. This must be kept in the same place as before and have the name HomePost,CMD. You pass the parameters in the same way as HomePre.CMD. Merely, the exit code (Errorlevel) is not handled.

Example:

A user account Test1 is created in the domain Dom2. Its home directory should be created on the server Serv3 in the shared drive Share7 with the name TestHome6 and be released as TestShare5. On the running home server ServHome the files HomePre.CMD and HomePost.CMD are found in the \\ServHome\Netlogon\Dom2 directory.

Batch call before creating the home directory:

\\ServHome\Netlogon\Dom2\HomePre.CMD Test1 Dom2 Serv3 TestShare5 TestHome6 Share7

If the batch run returns an exit code 0, the home directory is created. Otherwise, the process is stopped with a log message.

Batch call after creating the home directory:

\\ServHome\Netlogon\Dom2\HomePost.CMD Test1 Dom2 Serv3 TestShare5 TestHome6 Share7

Supporting multiple profile directories

The different Windows operating system versions use different repositories for roaming user profiles. For more information about storing roaming user profiles, see the MicrosoftTechNet Library.

To map the roaming user profile in One Identity Manager.

  • Provide a template structure for the user profile on the profile server.

    Example of a template structure for user profiles on a profile server

    PROFILE

    UserProfile

    All required folders/files

    UserProfile.V2

    All required folders/files

    UserProfile.V3

    All required folders/files

    UserProfile.V4

    All required folders/files

  • In the Designer, set the TargetSystem | ADS | Accounts | ProfileFixedString configuration parameter and define the part of the user profile directory that you want to attach to the default profile path. The default value is UserProfile.

As a result, the directory paths for the user profiles are mapped as follows in the default installation.

  • If the profile directory is created in the home directory:

    \\Servername\HOMES\Username$\PROFILES\UserProfile

  • If the profile directory is not created in the home directory:

    \\Servername\PROFILES\Username\UserProfile

The following directories exist after handling the processes.

  • If the profile directory is created in the home directory:

    \\Servername\HOMES\Username$\PROFILES\UserProfile

    \\Servername\HOMES\Username$\PROFILES\UserProfile.v2

    \\Servername\HOMES\Username$\PROFILES\UserProfile.v3

    \\Servername\HOMES\Username$\PROFILES\UserProfile.v4

  • If the profile directory is not created in the home directory:

    \\Servername\PROFILES\Username\UserProfile

    \\Servername\PROFILES\Username\UserProfile.v2

    \\Servername\PROFILES\Username\UserProfile.v3

    \\Servername\PROFILES\Username\UserProfile.v4

The directory paths for the repository on the terminal server are mapped in the same way. In this case, in the Designer, change the TargetSystem | ADS | Accounts | TProfileFixedString configuration parameter accordingly. Specify in this configuration parameter the part of the user profile directory path which is appended to the default profile path on a terminal server. The default value is UserProfile.

Home and profile directory access permissions

Table 65: Configuration parameters for setting up user directories
Configuration parameter Meaning

QER | Person | User | AccessRights

Configuration of permissions for accessing user directories.

NOTE: To assign permissions to directories and files, it is sometimes necessary to define user account names such as Administrators, Everyone, or Domain Users in specific languages. The default language for the user accounts names is English.

To grant access permissions for the home directory

  • In the Designer, set the QER | Person | User | AccessRights | HomeDir and its configuration subparameters, and enter the access permissions in the configuration parameters.

    Granting access permissions to the home directory is done by the One Identity Manager Service.

Configuration parameters for managing an Active Directory environment

The following configuration parameters are additionally available in One Identity Manager after the module has been installed.

Table 70: Configuration parameters
Configuration parameters Description

QER | ITShop | AutoPublish | ADSGroup

Preprocessor relevant configuration parameter for automatically adding Active Directory groups to the IT Shop. If the parameter is set, all groups are automatically assigned as products to the IT Shop. Changes to this parameter require the database to be recompiled.

If you disable the configuration parameter at a later date, model components and scripts that are not longer required, are disabled. SQL procedures and triggers are still carried out. For more information about the behavior of preprocessor relevant configuration parameters and conditional compiling, see the One Identity Manager Configuration Guide.

QER | ITShop | AutoPublish | ADSGroup | AutoFillDisplayName

The configuration parameter specifies whether the template should be applied to the ADSGroup.DisplayName column.

QER | ITShop | AutoPublish | ADSGroup | ExcludeList

List of all Active Directory groups that must not be automatically assigned to the IT Shop. Each entry is part of a regular search pattern and supports regular expression notation.

Example:

.*Administrator.*|Exchange.*|.*Admins|.*Operators|IIS_IUSRS

TargetSystem | ADS

Preprocessor relevant configuration parameter for controlling database model components for Active Directory target system administration. If the parameter is set, the target system components are available. Changes to this parameter require the database to be recompiled.

If you disable the configuration parameter at a later date, model components and scripts that are not longer required, are disabled. SQL procedures and triggers are still carried out. For more information about the behavior of preprocessor relevant configuration parameters and conditional compiling, see the One Identity Manager Configuration Guide.
