When you add a user account, the assigned user can log on to the network, and you can give the user permission to access network resources such as shared folders and the Remote Access Web site. Windows Home Server 2011 includes the Add a User Account Wizard that helps you:

  • Provide a name and password for the user account.

    Note

    The password you provide must meet the complexity requirements as defined by the password policy.

  • Select which shared folders the user account can access.

  • Specify if the user account has remote access to the network.

To add a user account

  1. Open the Windows Home Server 2011 Dashboard.

  2. On the main navigation bar, click Users.

  3. In the All Users Tasks pane, click Add a user account. The Add a User Account Wizard appears.

  4. Follow the instructions to complete the wizard.
