Introduction

During user creation within the AD Connector, it is possible to create home drives and assign these to the newly created user objects. 

The service account that runs the AD Connector service must have the relevant permissions to the file server to create folders.

Configuring Home Drives

Go to the following area:

• Login to your AD Connector portal (IT Access only)

• Workflow Configuration > New Starter - User Creation > Global Variables > Edit Record

Set the following values.

• DefaultHomeDriveLetter - Drive Letter to assign drive
• DefaultHomeDrivePath - Full path to file server user drives location

When enabled, the service will attempt to create a new folder using the configuration set above. Where a folder already exists with that name, it will send an email to IT to notify them that a folder already exists and the drive has not been created.

Enabling the home drive creation

Once you have configured the drive creation, it can be enabled under the global variables. Guidance for this can be found in the associated KB article.
