38 Chapter 2 Getting Started With User Management

Determining Server and Storage Requirements

These requirements vary with the number of users and computers:

• For fewer than 450 users and fewer than 150 computers, one server is adequate for

account management and authentication, home directories, and group folders. This

guideline assumes 1 GB/user of storage space per drive module in an Xserve

computer. More storage can be provided with additional drive modules and/or RAID.

• For 450–1000 users and 150–450 computers, one server is required for account

management and authentication. You’ll need one home directory and group folder

server for every 150 computers; the server should provide about 180 GB of storage.

One server acts as the Open Directory master; this server also hosts primary services

such as DNS, DHCP, and web as needed. If more dedicated services are needed,

explore using servers specifically for those tasks, such as QuickTime streaming. Group

folders are often shared among many computers at the same time. Avoid more than

150–300 concurrent connections to a group folder by establishing multiple

workgroups and distributing users into more than one workgroup.

• For over 1000 users and over 450 computers, you’ll need multiple servers for account

management and authentication; see the Open Directory administration guide for

replication guidelines. You’ll also need one home directory and group folder server

and 180 GB of storage for every 150 concurrently connected computers, if the users

have network home directories.

• Do not use more than 3 automountable share points per server. You may need to

create fewer sharepoints with sub-folders to logically distribute users into home

directory sets.

Using Client Management

Take advantage of Macintosh client management if you want to:

• Provide users with a consistent, controlled interface while allowing them access to

their files from any computer

• Use mobile accounts

• Reserve certain resources for specific groups or individuals

• Secure computer usage in key areas such as administrative offices, classrooms, or

open labs

Determine the users, groups, and computers whose preferences you want to manage.

See Chapter 8, “Client Management Overview,” on page 123 and Chapter 9, “Managing

Preferences,” on page 135 for planning guidelines.
