Apple Mac OS X Server v10.2 - Manual (Page 23)

Setup Example 23
Step 7: Set up shared folders
Because you turned on Apple file service in the Server Assistant, the teacher and students
can already use their home directory Public folders and the Drop Box folders within to share
files. You can create and share other folders to suit the needs of the class.
For example, to set up a shared assignments folder:
1 On the server, create a new folder named Assignments.
2 Open Workgroup Manager and click Sharing.
3 In the All tab, locate the Assignments folder, select it, and click “Share this item and its
contents” in the General tab.
Step 8: Provide shared access to the network printer
To give the students access to the network printer, use Server Settings to set up print service:
1 Turn on the printer.
2 Open the Server Settings application, click Print in the File & Print tab, and choose Show
Print Monitor.
3 Click the New Queue button, choose AppleTalk from the pop-up menu, select the printer,
and click Add.
4 Open Workgroup Manager, click Preferences, and Command-click users in the user list to
select all of the students.
5 Click the Printing preferences icon.
6 Click Always next to “Manage these settings” so students can’t change the settings.
7 Add the printer to the user’s printer list, click Apply Now, then click Done.
8 Click Accounts in the upper-left corner of the Workgroup Manager window.
9 Select the students in the user list, click the Print tab, click Per Queue, choose the printer
from the Queue Name pop-up list, and enter the server’s IP address (10.0.0.1) in the Print
Server field.
Step 9: Provide controlled access to the teacher’s printer
You can add a queue for the teacher’s printer, as in Step 8, and then control access to the
printer on a student-by-student basis by selecting a student’s account in Workgroup Manager
and temporarily switching from Per Queue to All Queues in the user’s Print tab.
