Apple Mac OS X Server (version 10.2.3 or later) - Manual (Page 451)

Client Management: Mac OS 9 and OS 8 451
Importing All Users
If you have a small number of users in your Mac OS X Server database, you may want to
import them to Macintosh Manager all at once. You can import up to 10,000 users with the
Import All feature.
To import all users:
1 In Macintosh Manager, click Users.
2 Click Import All.
An individual Macintosh Manager user account is created for each imported user. Depending
on the number of users imported, this process may take some time. You can also import
users individually or in groups.
If you have more than 10,000 users to import, you may want to consider importing users
from a text file.
Importing One or More Users
If necessary, you can import individual users or small groups of users. You must be using the
Macintosh Manager administrator software in Mac OS X in order to import one user at a time.
You cannot import one user at a time using Macintosh Manager on a Mac OS 9 computer.
To add one or more users to Macintosh Manager:
1 In Macintosh Manager, click Users.
2 Click Import.
3 If Workgroup Manager is not already open, a message about adding users appears. Click
Open to open Workgroup Manager.
4 In Workgroup Manager, click Users & Groups, then select Show Users & Groups List.
5 In the Users & Groups List, select the user or users you want to import and drag them to the
Imported Users list in Macintosh Manager. You may need to rearrange the windows so that
you can see both lists.
If you can’t find a user in the Users & Groups List, that user may not be in your Mac OS X
Server directory.
If you have fewer than 10,000 users to import, you can also use the Import All feature.
Collecting User Information in a Text File
You can create a plain text file that contains user information and then use this file when you
import users into Macintosh Manager. Your file must contain at least one of the following
pieces of information about each user: user ID, user name, or short name. You do not need
to list password information.
