Where Windows User Accounts Are Stored
User accounts for Windows users can be stored in any directory domain accessible from
the computer that needs to access the account. To be used for Windows domain login
from a Windows computer, a user account must be stored in the LDAP directory
domain of the Mac OS X Server that is the primary domain controller (PDC). A Windows
user account that is not stored in the PDC’s LDAP directory domain can be used to
access other services. For example, a user account in the local directory domain of a
Mac OS X Server can be used to access Windows file service provided by the same
server.
See the Open Directory administration guide for complete information about the
different kinds of directory domains.
Creating Windows User Accounts in the Primary Domain
Controller
You can use Workgroup Manager to create a user account on a Mac OS X Server PDC.
Windows users with accounts on a Mac OS X Server that is the primary domain
controller (PDC) can log in to the Windows domain from a Windows workstation. These
user accounts can also be used for other Windows services. You need administrator
privileges for a directory domain to create a new user account in it.
To create a user account in the PDC:
1 In Workgroup Manager, click Accounts, then click the User button.
2 Open the LDAP directory domain and authenticate as an administrator of the domain.
To open the LDAP directory domain, click the small globe icon above the list of users
and choose from the pop-up menu.
To authenticate, click the lock icon and enter the name and password of an
administrator whose password type is Open Directory.
3 Choose Server > New User or click New User in the toolbar.
4 Specify settings for the user in the tabs provided.
See “Working With Basic Settings for Users” on page 33 through “Working With Print
Settings for Users” on page 37 for details.
You can also use a preset or an import file to create a new user. For details, see the user
management guide.
