[. . . ] Note: The logon script is the name of an MS-DOS batch script that runs on the local machine when a user logs on to the domain. Because this same script is run for every user in the domain, it is a convenient place to set up a common environment for all users. For example, the logon script could be used to synchronize machine time (see the Microsoft net time command) or to map a common shared drive to a drive letter (see the Microsoft net use command). See also "Creating a Logon Script". For more information about using JS100 as a PDC, see "Using a JS100 Unit as a Primary Domain Controller". WINDOWS SETUP PAGE PIC User Management - Basic The User Management - Basic page allows an administrator to manage user accounts when UBSA mode is enabled, and the JS100 unit is set up to operate in Workgroup Member mode.

CREATE NEW USER PAGE PIC Page 21 ©2005 Quasarbiz Document: VS100UM101 SHARE MANAGEMENT A share is a directory that can be mounted on one or more computers and filled with as many subdirectories as desired, up to the limit of the space in the disk pool in which the share exists. A pool is a specified amount of disk space that contains one or more shares (see "Disk Management" for information about creating and managing disk pools). If more than one share is in the same pool, any space taken up by one share is space that is not available for the other shares in that pool, and if any one share fills up the space, no files can be written to any of the shares in that pool until some files are deleted. Shares in other pools however, continue functioning normally as long as there is available space in the other pools. Note: A disk pool must be created before a share can be created (see "Disk Management"). The JS100 unit supports the Microsoft file allocation table (FAT) file system. If a disk is claimed using the FAT system, the entire disk is a considered as a single share. A disk using the FAT system is called a legacy disk (see "Legacy Disk Management - Basic"), and a legacy disk share is called a foreign share. Otherwise, a share is called a pool share. Administrators can control how each share is accessed. JS100 units support four protocols for accessing shares: Common Internet File System (CIFS) Network File System (NFS) Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) File Transfer Protocol (FTP) Windows machines use CIFS protocol; UNIX-based machines typically use NFS, and Web browsers use HTTP. FTP is an older internet protocol supported by both browsers and command-line-based clients. Each of these protocols can be disabled globally. If they are enabled globally, they may be enabled or disabled independently for each share.
