Chapter 2 Getting Started With User Management 41
Using Workgroup Manager
Once you have installed the Mac OS X Server software, you can access Workgroup
Manager. This section provides an introduction to the application.
Working With Pre-Version 10.4 Computers From Version 10.4
Servers
Mac OS X version 10.3 and 10.2 servers can be administered using version 10.4 server
administration tools. Workgroup Manager on a version 10.4 server can be used to
manage Mac OS X clients running Mac OS X version 10.2.4 or later.
Once you’ve edited a user record using Workgroup Manager on version 10.4, it can be
accessed only by using Workgroup Manager on version 10.4. Preferences of Mac OS 9
clients can be managed from a version 10.4 server using Macintosh Manager only when
you perform an upgrade installation of version 10.4; you can use an upgrade
installation to install version 10.4 on version10.2.8 or version 10.3 servers.
Opening and Authenticating in Workgroup Manager
Workgroup Manager is installed in /Applications/Server/ when you install your server or
set up an administrator computer. You can open it from that folder by using the Finder.
You can also open Workgroup Manager by clicking its icon in the Dock or in the toolbar
of the Server Admin application.
• To work with directory domains on a particular server, enter the server’s IP address or
DNS name in the Workgroup Manager Connect window, or click Browse to choose
from a list of available servers. Specify the user name and password for a domain
administrator, then click Connect. Only domain administrators on the directory
domain server will have directory administration privileges.
• You can view a directory domain without authenticating (by choosing Server > View
Directories). You will have read-only access to information displayed in Workgroup
Manager. To make changes in a directory, you must authenticate using a domain
administrator account. This approach is most useful when you’re administering
different servers and working with different directory domains.
After opening Workgroup Manager, you can open a Workgroup Manager window for a
different computer by clicking Connect in the toolbar or choosing Server > Connect.
