00:00:06,460 --> 00:00:15,160
Before we begin to talk about user account templates let me tell you some votes about enabling and disabling

2
00:00:15,250 --> 00:00:22,390
user accounts so user accounts can become inactive for different reasons users leave the organization

3
00:00:22,390 --> 00:00:27,650
go to maternity or paternity leave and so forth.

4
00:00:27,670 --> 00:00:35,710
In this case if a user doesn't need access to his or her account for a period you should disable the

5
00:00:35,710 --> 00:00:37,840
account rather than delete it.

6
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:45,880
Even if a user has left the organization it is a best practice to disable the user account until you

7
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,580
are sure that no one will need it.

8
00:00:48,580 --> 00:00:54,550
This is particularly true if a user has a mailbox on your exchange server.

9
00:00:54,550 --> 00:01:00,480
If you do leave the user for made yes then you also delay the user's mailbox.

10
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:09,120
You might need to retain the user voicemail and restore and a user account and the associated mailbox

11
00:01:09,130 --> 00:01:09,920
and this.

12
00:01:09,940 --> 00:01:11,860
This is time consuming.

13
00:01:11,860 --> 00:01:19,510
So to disable a user account locate and select the account to an Active Directory administrative center

14
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:28,360
and then in the task Spain click disable and to enable an account click enable in the task Spain.

15
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:38,140
Now some words about the user account templates create new users usually involves set and multiple attributes

16
00:01:38,140 --> 00:01:39,310
for the user.

17
00:01:39,310 --> 00:01:47,080
This can be time consuming and tedious especially if you are creating multiple user user templates can

18
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:51,680
reduce the effort required to create new user accounts.

19
00:01:51,700 --> 00:01:57,300
They also reduce the chance of errors when certain and properties for users.

20
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:06,460
Most users in a department business unit or or you will share manic common attributes such as group

21
00:02:06,460 --> 00:02:15,310
memberships and home directory allocations in aid it is a user template is simply an account that you

22
00:02:15,310 --> 00:02:22,170
can figure with all the properties that are common to that job role or department.

23
00:02:22,180 --> 00:02:30,340
For example you might create a user recount named sales template that has all the attributes that apply

24
00:02:30,340 --> 00:02:32,240
to your sales people.

25
00:02:32,270 --> 00:02:40,530
Then when your organization Hire or send you a sales person you can copy the template to create the

26
00:02:40,540 --> 00:02:41,860
new account.

27
00:02:41,860 --> 00:02:50,080
Best practices include disabling the template accounts so that no one can use it to assign name and

28
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:57,370
put in an underscore at the beginning of the name so that the template account is always at the top

29
00:02:57,610 --> 00:03:00,960
of the user list and easier to locate.

30
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:09,580
Only the most commonly used attributes are copied from the template over to the new user account.

31
00:03:09,580 --> 00:03:18,060
These include group memberships home directories profiles certain slogan scripts log on hours passwords

32
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,650
surgeons department name and manager.

33
00:03:21,750 --> 00:03:28,240
Many a corporate account you must provide the following information for the new account First Name Last

34
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:36,760
Name Full Name user or log on name and password attributes fields that are not copied from the template

35
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:42,150
include office phone number a street address and job title

36
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:53,830
