Nuance Management Center

Chapter 1: Introducing the Nuance Management Server
n Names of all people who will administer the system.
n Names of all users that will dictate using the Dragon Group client.
n Groupings of users based on the client settings and options they will use.
n Names of all locations within your organization where the system is deployed; a site in
Dragon Group is one or more locations all storing roaming user profiles in the same
directory folder.
n Names/IP addresses of all the computers that will run the Dragon Group client.
n Names of computers and full UNC paths to all locations where you expect to store the
roaming user profiles for users.
n Names of computers and full paths to backup locations.
Recommendations
Nuance recommends that you plan the naming of the components of your organization and
the structure of your groups before you begin to configure Dragon Group .
n Site names should reflect the set of roaming or non-roaming user profiles for users
associated with the site. For example, if you divide your user profiles by location, you
could use that location in the name of the site, as it is more helpful than using Site 1,
Site 2, and so on.
n Group names should reflect the user accounts that are members of each group.
However, if you have more than one group of a specific type, you should distinguish
the groups by adding the group location to the group name; for example, Writers-
Longwood, Writers-Northwest.
For your convenience we have included a User Groups Worksheet at the end of this section
to help you analyze the needs of the groups in your organization. See User Groups
Worksheet on page 4
