Definition

Use this command to assign a path for a user profile, a logon script name or a home directory to a local user account.

You can also select this command in the Windows User Manager. This is a local setting that can be controlled centrally by Ivanti DSM.

The home directory is a user's default working directory containing a user's files and applications. The first time you open the Open and Save As dialog boxes after starting an application, the home directory is the default working directory. This is also the case for all command prompts and for all applications that do not have a default working directory. You can assign a home directory to an individual user or to several users and the home directory can reside locally on a workstation (as a local directory) or on a shared network drive
