Good afternoon.
The following questions are probably very basic to most of you but any help will be appreiciated.
Setting up my first standalone Mac server to a small local network (4 machines)
If I were setting up a Windows network I would create a new user in the active directory and then I would be able to logon as that user from any other pc as long as it on the same domain.
How does open directory work? I Created a new account in workgroup manager and i can access that account from another mac using that test account but only if i am already logged in locally and going down the Network>server>login road.
How can I login to the server automaticly using the new account I have created without having to login to a local account first?
Server is on the same network using the same subnet mask and router IP.
Another thing.. when installing the mac OSX server software I could create a local host name and computer name but not a host name, any ideas why?
Luckilly I have the next week off to learn about this as I am the only one in the office who wants to learn about macs. I know what your thinkin.. damn windows users!!
