Working With Group Folder Settings for Windows Groups
If you use the Group Folder pane in Workgroup Manager to set up a folder for
members of a particular group, the group folder isn’t mounted automatically on
Windows workstations when group members log in to the Windows domain. If the
group folder’s share point is shared using SMB, a Windows user can go to My Network
Places (or Network Neighborhood) and access the contents of the group folder. For
more information on group folders, see the chapter on group accounts in the user
management guide.
Managing Windows Workstations in the Windows
Computers Account
Every Windows computer supported by the Mac OS X Server primary domain controller
must be part of the Windows Computers account. Adding a computer to a computer
account creates a computer record for the computer. The computer record identifies
the Windows computer by its NetBIOS name. The computer record for a Windows
computer also contains information for authenticating the computer as a trusted
workstation in the Windows domain. Mac OS X Server creates this information (a UID
and a GID) for each computer you add to the Windows Computers account.
For general information on computer accounts and adding computers to them, see the
chapter on computer accounts in the user management guide.
Adding Computers to the Windows Computers Account
A Mac OS X Server PDC automatically adds a Windows computer to the server’s
Windows Computers account when the computer joins the PDC’s Windows domain,
but you can also use Workgroup Manager to add computers to the Windows
Computers account.
To add computers to the Windows Computer list:
1 In Workgroup Manager, click Accounts, then click the Computers 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
computers and choose from the pop-up menu.
To authenticate, click the lock icon and enter the name and password of a directory
domain administrator.
3 Click List, then select Windows Computers in the list of computer accounts.
