Chapter 1 Overview of Windows Services 13

A user’s network home directory is located in a share point on a Mac OS X Server.

A setting in the user account specifies the share point for the home directory. You can

manage home directories with Workgroup Manager.

With roaming profiles, each user has the same profile when he or she logs in to the

domain from any Windows workstation on the network. A roaming profile stores a

Windows user’s preference settings—screensaver, colors, backgrounds, event sounds,

web cookies, and so on—in a share point on a Mac OS X Server. A user’s roaming

profile is stored by default in a predetermined folder on the PDC.

Joining a PDC as a Domain Member

If you have multiple servers with Mac OS X Server on your network, you can set up one

as a PDC and set up others to provide additional Windows services. It is important that

only one PDC be present on the network.

You join other servers to the Windows domain of the PDC so they can use the PDC for

user authentication. Home directories and environment profiles of Windows users can

be located in share points on servers that are members of the Windows domain.

Providing File, Print, Browsing, and Name Resolution

Services

Whether you set up a PDC or not, you can set up Mac OS X Server to provide other

services to Windows users. Starting Windows services on Mac OS X Server enables it to

provide access to share points via the Windows standard protocol for file service, server

message block (SMB). Windows services also enable Mac OS X Server to provide SMB

access to print queues that have been set up for PostScript printers.

In addition, you can set up Mac OS X Server to provide WINS name resolution for

Windows clients or to register with an existing WINS server on the network. Mac OS X

Server can also provide network browsing service as a workgroup master browser or a

domain master browser for Windows clients.

Providing VPN Service

A Mac OS X Server virtual private network (VPN) can include Windows workstations as

well as Mac OS X computers. The workstations connect to the server by a private link of

encrypted data, simulating a local connection as if the remote computer were attached

to the local area network (LAN).

Mac OS X Server VPN uses Microsoft’s Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol

version 2 (MS-CHAPv2) for authentication. MS-CHAPv2 is also the standard Windows

authentication scheme for VPN.
