  • Do not change the default settings for the other options in the dialog box.

  • However, you might want to select the Use the same credentials for all users option. This option forces the Profiles resource to use the credentials you entered in Step 6 whenever it communicates with the Active Directory server. If you do not select this option, the Profiles resource uses the credentials of the process in which it is currently running.

    The following figure shows the System Attributes dialog box.
