| Advanced User Configuration The Advanced User Configuration features can be accessed from
the Configuration menu.
Advanced User Configuration has been designed for
the mass importation of new users into CMail Server using either a file or from the
Windows NT users database.
Importing a User from Windows NT (Windows NT
only)
- Open the Advanced User Configuration
menu by clicking Configuration > Advanced User Configuration.
- Users known to the NT Users database will appear in
the Defined NT Users pane on the left side of the menu.
- Highlight the user you wish to import into CMail with
the left mouse button and click the Add button.
- One of the Unused Licenses will be
converted into a mail account with the username and password which match that of the NT
user imported.
Note: If you enable Use NT
Users Database for all accounts and a user who has not yet had a mailbox created
for them logs in with a valid Windows NT username and password, CMail will automatically
create a mail account for that user.
Removing a Windows NT user from CMail
(Windows NT only)
- Open the Advanced User Configuration
menu by clicking Configuration > Advanced User Configuration.
- Select the user you wish to remove from the CMail
Users list and click Delete.
- The user will be removed from CMail.
Note: CMail Server only
authenticates against the NT Users Database, it does not make any changes
to this database. Changes to usernames and passwords must be made through the User
Managers for Domains tool and then the user re-imported into CMail.
Importing Users from a File
Overwrite Existing Users
Checking this box when importing users from a file will overwrite any existing
user details, except the Administrator account.

following format:

This format file can be produced by
popular spreadsheets and databases. If the Home Dir field is left blank the CMail Server

where the items in bold are your settings on your system.
Once you have located the file press the Import users button to complete
the import of users.
