Macros can be used in your configuration anywhere an expression is expected. During logon, these macros expand into values based on their definition. For example, when a user with an ID of GPBurdell logs on to a client machine, the “@USERID” macro text is replaced with “GPBurdell”. Macros have many practical uses. The UNC path, \\your-server\@USERID, can be used to map a drive to a per-user share. The @LSERVER macro can be used to set the system time on legacy clients from the authenticating domain controller. This table lists the supported macros and their definitions.
