You can also create accounts on Mac OS X Server to manage Windows users and
provide Windows domain login, roaming user profiles, home directories, file service,
mail service, and so on. See the Windows services administration guide for instructions.
Step 6: Set up client computers
Mac OS X Server can support users of Mac OS X, Mac OS 9, or Windows client
computers.
For Mac OS X computers, configure the search policy of the computer so it can locate
shared directory domains. See the Open Directory administration guide for instructions
and supplemental information about search policies in onscreen help. Use the
Automatic authentication option if you’ve set up a DHCP server to identify the location
of the shared directory when it provides an IP address to Mac OS X client computers.
Otherwise, use the Custom Path option to identify the server hosting the shared
directory.
For setup instructions for mobile Mac OS X computers that use AirPort to communicate
with Mac OS X Server, see Designing AirPort Extreme Networks (accessible at
www.apple.com/airport/).
Windows workstations that are used for Windows domain login must join the Mac OS X
Server PDC just as you would set up workstations to join a Windows NT server’s
domain, as the Windows services administration guide explains.
If you have more than just a few Macintosh client computers to set up, consider using
Network Install to create a system image that automates client computer setup. See the
system image and software update administration guide for options and instructions.
Step 7: Define user account preferences
You manage the working environment of Macintosh users whose accounts reside in a
shared domain by defining user account preferences. For information about Mac OS X
user preferences, see Chapter 8, “Client Management Overview,” and Chapter 9,
“Managing Preferences.”
Step 8: Create group accounts and group folders
Use Workgroup Manager to create group accounts in directories that reside on
Mac OS X Server and in non-Apple Open Directory domains that aren’t read-only.
Detailed instructions appear in various locations in this guide.
• For information about how to create Mac OS X group accounts, see Chapter 5,
“Setting Up Group Accounts.”
Although some group information doesn’t apply to Windows users, you can add
Windows users to groups that you create. The procedures for managing group
accounts for Windows users are the same as those for groups that contain only
Mac OS X users.
