You can also set a server’s role in providing Windows services by using the
serveradmin command in Terminal. For more information, see the file services chapter
of the command-line administration guide.
Setting Up a Server as a Windows Domain Member
Using Server Admin, you can set up Mac OS X Server to join a Windows domain hosted
by a Mac OS X Server primary domain controller (PDC). A server that joins a Windows
domain gets authentication services from the PDC. This domain member server can
also provide file, print, browsing, and Windows Internet Name Service (WINS). The
server can host user profiles and home directories for users who have user accounts on
the PDC. The domain member server does not provide authentication services to other
domain members.
To join Mac OS X Server to the Windows domain of a Mac OS X Server PDC:
1 Open Server Admin and select Windows for a server in the Computers & Services list.
2 Click Settings (near the bottom of the window), then click General (near the top).
3 Choose Domain Member from the Role pop-up menu, then enter a description,
computer name, and domain.
Description: This description appears in the Network Neighborhood window on
Windows computers, and it is optional.
Computer Name: Enter the name you want Windows users to see when they connect
to the server. This is the server’s NetBIOS name. The name should contain no more than
15 characters, no special characters, and no punctuation. If practical, make the server
name match its unqualified DNS host name. For example, if your DNS server has an
entry for your server as “server.example.com,” give your server the name “server.”
Domain: Enter the name of the Windows domain that the server will join. The domain
must be hosted by a Mac OS X Server PDC. The name cannot exceed 15 characters and
cannot be “WORKGROUP.”
4 Click Save.
5 Enter the name and password of a user account that can administer the LDAP directory
domain on the PDC server, then click OK.
For information on configuring individual Windows services, see “Changing Windows
Services Access Settings” on page 23, “Changing Windows Services Logging Settings”
on page 23, “Changing Windows Services Advanced Settings” on page 24, and the print
service administration guide.
