A user can’t log in to a NetBoot client.
Try these solutions:
m Check to see if the user can log in to other computers. If the user can log in to other
computers, then the computer the user can’t log in to may be connected to a Macintosh
Management server the user does not have an account on. If there is more than one
Macintosh Management server, make sure the user has selected a server on which he or
she has an account.
m Open Macintosh Manager and make sure the user is a member of at least one workgroup.
m Open Macintosh Manager and reset the user’s password.
Common Troubleshooting Tasks
Making Sure the Hard Disk Is Working Properly
You use the fsck command to repair corrupted or damaged hard disks in Mac OS X Server
format. See “Repairing Mac OS X Server Disks” on page 38.
You use Disk First Aid to verify and repair a hard disk in Mac OS Extended format. The
volumes you use to store NetBoot users’ documents use Mac OS Extended format.
Note: Some volumes can be verified but not repaired, such as the volume the Disk First Aid
application is stored on, a write-protected disk, or a disk that has open files. On your
NetBoot server, the Disk First Aid application is located on a volume formatted in Mac OS X
Server, and Disk First Aid does not verify or repair this type of volume.
To verify or repair a hard disk:
1 Log in to the server as the Administrator (“root”).
2 Open the Server Administration menu (in the Apple menu) and choose Disk First Aid.
3 Click the volume you want to verify or repair, then click Verify or Repair.
You verify a hard disk first. If problems are found, then you can repair the disk.
You can select more than one volume by pressing the Shift key while clicking a volume.
Checking Server Processes
To check server processes, follow these steps:
1 Log in to the server as the Administrator.
2 Open the Apple menu and choose Server Administration, then choose ProcessViewer.
