How Do I Create a User on the AD Server?

Administrators can create a domain user in the user OU of the active AD server and add the domain user to a user group to manage domain users with different rights.

  1. On the active AD server, choose > Windows Administrative Tools > Active Directory Users and Computers.

    The Active Directory Users and Computers window is displayed.

  2. In the navigation pane on the left, right-click the target OU name and choose New > User.

    The New Object - User window is displayed.

  3. Configure registration information of the domain user.

    Figure 1 shows an example.

    • The user login name contains 1 to 20 characters, including uppercase letters, lowercase letters, digits, hyphens (-), and underscores (_).
    • User logon name indicates the domain account for the user. The username created on the Workspace Application Streaming console must be the same as the user login name.
    • If User logon name is different from User logon name (pre-Windows 2000), User logon name (pre-Windows 2000) is used as the user login domain account. Ensure the username created on the Workspace Application Streaming console is as same as the User logon name (pre-Windows 2000).

  4. Click Next.

    The domain user is successfully created. The new domain user is displayed in the right pane.

  8. Decide whether to add the domain user to a user group.

    • If yes, go to 9.
    • If no, no further operation is required.

  1. In the right pane, right-click User name and choose Add to a group.

    The Select Groups window is displayed.
