Provisioning Auxiliary Storage for Existing Users

This procedure lets File Dynamics manage an existing second user home folder by classifying the second home folder as an auxiliary storage folder and managing it through an Auxiliary Storage policy. In the process, File Dynamics corrects any potential problems.

1. In the Admin Client, click the Identity Driven tab.
2. Click Policies.
3. Select the Auxiliary Storage policy linked to the user home folder policy of the users for whom you want to create auxiliary storage.
4. In the Actions drop-down menu, select Assign Auxiliary Attributes.
5. Verify that the Assign using value in policy if Auxiliary Attribute is not set option is selected.
   This option uses the defined Auxiliary Storage policy path and looks for a folder that matches the SAM of all users defined within the policy. If a match is found, the Auxiliary Storage Attribute is set and the users are cataloged and managed by the Auxiliary Storage policy.
6. Click Preview.
   Preview mode allows you to view the results of an action without actually making changes.
7. Click Execute to set the Auxiliary Attribute.
8. From the Auxiliary Policy Action drop-down menu, select Apply Quota.
9. Select Set quota for all directories. Overwrite any existing quota assignments except where the existing quota is larger than the quota defined in the policy.
10. Click Preview.
11. Click Execute to set the quota for the auxiliary storage.
