The Built-in Business Rules provided with Adaxes service are intended for managing user home directories and their shares.

Built-in Business Rules include:

Create Exchange Mailbox This Rule can be used to automate creation of Exchange mailboxes for new users. The Rule actions are executed after a new user is created. This Rule should be assigned on containers, organizational units or domains in which users can be created.

Create User Home Directory This Rule can be used to automate creation and sharing of new users' home directories. The Rule actions are executed after a new user is created. This Rule should be assigned on containers, organizational units or domains in which users can be created.

Delete User Home Directory This Rule can be used to automate deletion of home directory shares and home directories of the users that are deleted. The Rule actions are executed before a user is deleted. This Rule should be assigned on groups, containers, organizational units, Business Units or domains that contain user accounts.

Rename User Home Directory This Rule can be used to automate renaming of home directories and their shares for the users whose logon name is changed. The Rule actions are executed after the sAMAccountName property of a user is changed. This Rule should be assigned on groups, containers, organizational units, Business Units or domains that contain user accounts.

By default all built-in Business Rules are disabled, so they are not effective until you enable them.

Before using Create User Home Directory and Rename User Home Directory Rules, you need to specify your network path for the home directory of users that are created or renamed.

For example, \\SERVER\SHARE\User Home Directories\%username%, where

Using the %username% pattern is essential as it allows to create unique home directories for each user. If you don't specify this pattern in the home directory path, home directories of all users will have the same location.

The built-in Business Rule actions and conditions can be modified to meet your company needs. For example, if you do not want to delete user home directories when a user is deleted, you need to remove the Delete the home directory action. Also, if you want to store home directories of deleted users in a specific folder, you need to replace the Delete the home directory action with the Move the home directory action.
