Description
If the “Users” standard technique is used to just modify an existing user, and :
- The “Use the default home directory” is UNchecked ;
- The “Home directory, if not default - Optional” is left blank.
- This is accepted an policies compile OK.
Agent execution produces an error :
E| error userGroupManagement Home directory michel The given home directory for user michel is invalid
OTOH if :
- The “Use the default home directory” is checked ;
- The “Move the content of previous home directory to the defined one” is UNchecked.
- The “Home directory, if not default - Optional” is left blank.
Agent execution produces :
E| n/a userGroupManagement Home directory michel The user michel doesn't need to have its home directory checked
This is confusing because one would expect the home directory to be set to “the default” per the checked box, event though its contents should not be moved.
