with the identical name and the same domain authentication parameters. Specific WinRoute
parameters (such as access rights, content rules, data transfer quotas, etc.) can be set by using
the template for the local user database (see chapter
) or/and they can be defined individ-

accounts imported..
Note: This method of user accounts import is recommended especially when Windows NT
domain is used (domain server with the Windows NT Server operating system). If Active Direc-
