Chapter 5 Managing Windows Services 55
Changing the Server’s Windows Domain
Using Server Admin, you change the Windows domain of a server that is a domain
member.
To change the Windows domain of Mac OS X Server:
1 In Server Admin’s Computers & Services list, select Windows for the server whose
Windows domain you want to change.
2 Click Settings (near the bottom of the window), then click General (near the top).
3 Enter the Windows domain name, then click Save.
Changing the Sever’s Windows Workgroup
Using Server Admin, you can change the workgroup name of a server that provides
only standalone Windows services (file, print, browsing, or WINS). Windows users see
the workgroup name in the Network Neighborhood window. If you have Windows
domains on your subnet, use one of them as the workgroup name to make it easier for
clients to communicate across subnets. Otherwise, consult your Windows network
administrator for the correct name.
To change the Windows workgroup name of Mac OS X Server:
1 In Server Admin’s Computers & Services list, select Windows for the server whose
Windows domain you want to change.
2 Click Settings (near the bottom of the window), then click General (near the top).
3 Type a name in the Workgroup field, then click Save.
From the Command Line
You can also change the Windows workgroup name using the
serveradmin command
in Terminal. For more information, see the file services chapter of the command-line
administration guide.
Managing Access to Windows Services
You can manage access to Windows services by allowing or disallowing guest access to
Windows file service and by limiting the number of connected Windows clients.
Allowing Guest Access for Windows Services
You can use Server Admin to enable or disable guest access to Windows file service.
Guest users can access Windows file service on your server without supplying a name
and password. For better security, do not allow guest access.
Warning: Do not change the domain name of a PDC server unless absolutely
necessary. If you change the name of the PDC domain, Windows workstations that
were domain members will have to rejoin the domain under its new name.
