Target system versions supported / tested

In most scenarios, these connectors are used with an Active Directory connector to manage network resources. However, they can be used for operations the Active connector cannot do. For example, you could use SMB protocol to target the server where the user’s home directories are located. This way, a home directory can also be created when a new user account is created.
