36 Chapter 3 Administering Windows Users, Groups, Computers, and Share Points
Working With Group Settings for Users
Group settings identify the groups a user is a member of. You work with these settings
in the Groups pane of a Workgroup Manager user account window. For detailed
instructions on the following tasks, see the chapter on user accounts in the user
management guide:
• Defining a user’s primary group
• Adding a user to groups
• Removing a user from a group
• Reviewing a user’s group memberships
Setting Up a Home Directory for a Windows User
A Windows user can have a home directory for use when logging in to a Windows
domain. Normally, this user can log in to a Mac OS X computer and use the same home
directory.
You can create a home directory for a Windows user in any existing share point, or you
can create the home directory in the /Users folder—a predefined share point. If you
want to create a home directory in a new share point, create the share point first. See
“Managing SMB Share Points” on page 41 for instructions.
For general information on home directories, see the chapter on home directories in
the user management guide.
To create a home directory in an existing share point:
1 Make sure the share point has a mount record configured for home directories.
In Workgroup Manager, click Sharing, click Share Points (on the left), select the share
point in the list, click Network Mount (on the right), and make sure “Create a mount
record for this share point” is selected and “For User Home Directories” is also selected.
To change these settings, you must use the Where pop-up menu to choose the
directory domain in which the user account resides, click the lock icon, and
authenticate as an administrator of the directory domain.
2 In Workgroup Manager, open the user account for which you want to create a home
directory.
To open an account, click the Accounts button, and then click the small globe icon
below the toolbar and open the directory domain where the user’s account resides. To
edit the home directory information, click the lock to be authenticated, and then select
the user in the user list.
3 Click Home.
4 In the share points list, select /Users or the share point you want to use.
5 Click Create Home Now, and then click Save.
