6 Solving Problems With Windows
Services
If you encounter problems while working with Windows
services of Mac OS X Server, you might find a solution in
this chapter.
Problems are listed in the following categories:
• Problems with a primary domain controller
• Problems with Windows file service
• Problems with Windows print service
Problems With a Primary Domain Controller
Problems with a primary domain controller (PDC) can have several causes.
User Can’t Log in to the Windows Domain
• Make sure the user account is configured to use Open Directory authentication. If the
user account was created in a previous version of Mac OS X Server (version 10.1 or
earlier) and is still configured to use Authentication Manager (the password type is
“Crypt password”), change the account to use Open Directory authentication.
• Make sure the workstation has joined the PDC domain
Windows User Has No Home Directory
• Make sure the correct home directory location is selected on the Home pane of
Workgroup Manger.
• Make sure the home directory path is correct on the Windows pane of Workgroup
Manger.
• Using Server Admin, connect to the server where the user’s home directory resides.
Select Windows in the Computers & Services list, click Advanced, and make sure the
“Enable virtual share points” setting is selected.
• The drive letter chosen for the user may be conflicting with a drive letter that’s
already in use on the Windows workstation. Remedy: change either the drive letter
setting on the Windows pane of Workgroup Manager or the mappings of other drive
letters on the workstation.
