120 Chapter 4 Managing Clients and Users
Creating Local Home Folders for Network Accounts
Creating SAN user accounts in a centralized directory simplifies the job of managing
user accounts for computers attached to the SAN. However, some applications, such as
Final Cut Pro, work best when a user has a local home folder on the computer he or
she is using.
To create a local home folder for a network user account:
1 Open Workgroup Manager on the server that is acting as your Open Directory master.
2 Click the Users tab, select the user, and click Home.
3 Click the Add (+) button below the list.
4 Type “/Users/” in the Home field, replacing with the user’s
short name and leaving off the quotes.
5 Click OK, and then click Save.
The user’s home folder is created on the client computer the first time he or she logs in.
