A share can be a security risk.
The next screen (Figure C) is the last special dialog box for installation. It asks you to specify the shared directory where you want the configuration information to be stored. You might want to put this on a network Domain Controller that is heavily trafficked so that the information will be replicated often with Active Directory. This will prevent the need for a special scheduled replication for these files.

The installation will finish, and you'll be prompted to run the software and/or view the readme file.
Building the mould for great objects
The first time you run the UserManagemeNT software, it will ask you whether you want to configure it. Clicking Yes will call up the dialog boxes you'll use to create object templates for future use. If you click No, you can perform configuration tasks from the Configuration tab within the software.
Assuming you click Yes, the first thing you'll see is the Specify Domains And Users To Manage dialog box, shown in Figure D. Here, you'll list all the domains on your network that contain user accounts. You should specify all the domains on your network that you want to manage with UserManagemeNT.
You can also search for existing domains from this dialog box. Simply click the Search Domains button to locate all the domains on the network. The User Manager will then connect to the Active Directory root to locate listed domains, placing all the found domains in the Domains And OUs In Network box. From there, you can select the domains to manage by clicking the Add button.
