Defining Default Home Directories for New Users
You can define default home directory settings to use for new users by using a preset to
predefine them. See “Using Presets” on page 176 for information about defining and using
presets.
Using Import Files to Create AFP Home Directories
The fastest way to create AFP home directories for a large number of users is to use an
import file. See “Importing and Exporting User and Group Information” on page 178
for details.
Moving Home Directories
If you need to move a home directory, create the new one and manually delete the existing
one to deallocate disk space it uses if you no longer need the existing one.
Deleting Home Directories
When you delete a user account, the associated home directory is not automatically deleted.
You must delete it manually.
Administering Group Accounts
This section describes how to administer group accounts stored in various kinds of directory
domains.
Where Group Accounts Are Stored
Group accounts, as well as user accounts and computer accounts, can be stored in any Open
Directory domain accessible from the Mac OS X computer that needs to access the account.
A directory domain can reside on a Mac OS X computer (for example, a NetInfo or LDAPv3
domain) or it can reside on a non-Apple server (for example, an LDAP or Active Directory
server).
You can use Workgroup Manager to work with accounts in all kinds of directory domains, but
you can only update NetInfo and LDAPv3 directory domains using Workgroup Manager.
See Chapter 2, “Directory Services,” for complete information about the different kinds of
Open Directory domains.
Creating Group Accounts in a Directory Domain on Mac OS X Server
You need administrator privileges for a directory domain to create a new group account in it.
