Automatic registration of a new user

When a new user logs on to SafeGuard Enterprise once their endpoint has contacted the SafeGuard Enterprise Server, they are registered and automatically displayed in the Users and Computers area of the SafeGuard Management Center under their respective domain or workgroup.

The directory for these users/computers (.Auto registered) is automatically created under the root directory and under each domain or workgroup. It cannot be renamed nor moved. Objects in this directory cannot be moved manually either.

As long as there is no domain or workgroup the objects remain in the .Auto registered directory. When the domain or workgroup is synchronized with the next contact to the SafeGuard Enterprise Database, the object is moved to the respective domain or workgroup. Otherwise it remains under the .Auto registered directory.

Usually, only a master security officer can manage the auto-registered objects.

To give security officers the right to manage objects in the .Auto registered directory, for example for recovering a computer in this group, you need to manually create the domain or workgroup the object belongs to. Then you can assign rights for security officers to these domains or workgroups as usual. The objects will then be moved to their domain automatically.

Local users cannot log on to SafeGuard Enterprise with an empty password. Local users who log on to SafeGuard Enterprise with an empty password remain guest users and are not saved to the database. If Windows Autologon is activated for these users, logon is denied. For a successful logon at SafeGuard Enterprise, a new password must be created in this case and Windows Autologon must be deactivated in the registry of the endpoint.

Microsoft accounts are always handled as SafeGuard Enterprise guest users.
