12 Chapter 1 Overview of Windows Services

Windows services in Mac OS X Server are based on Samba 3, an open source SMB/CIFS

server. For more information about Samba, visit the Samba website:

www.samba.org

Providing a PDC for Domain Login

Setting up your Mac OS X Server as a Windows primary domain controller (PDC)

enables domain logins for Windows users on your network. Instead of logging in with a

user name and password that are defined locally on each workstation, each user can

Windows user one user name and password for logging in from any Windows

workstation on the network.

A user needs only one account on Mac OS X Server to log in to Windows workstations

and Mac OS X computers. The same user name and password works for Windows

domain login and Mac OS X login.

Users can change their passwords while logging in to the Windows domain.

Before you can set up Mac OS X Server as a PDC, you must set up the server as an

Open Directory master. The PDC uses the user and computer information stored in the

LDAP directory of the Open Directory master.

You have an opportunity to set up an Open Directory master and a PDC when you use

Server Assistant after installing Mac OS X Server. You can also set up an Open Directory

master and a PDC after installation by using Server Admin.

Be careful to set up only one Mac OS X Server as a PDC on your network. The network

can have multiple Open Directory masters, but only one PDC.

Providing Home Directories and Roaming User Profiles

Setting up your Mac OS X Server as a Windows PDC enables it to host home directories

and roaming user profiles for Windows users. Alternatively, another Mac OS X Server

can host home directories and roaming user profiles.

Each Windows user who logs in to the PDC has a network home directory. If a user puts

files or folders in his or her home directory, the user can access them after logging in to

the PDC from any Windows workstation that has joined the PDC. The user also has

access to the contents of his or her home directory after logging in to a Mac OS X

computer. The user has the same network home directory whether logging in to a

Windows computer or a Mac OS X computer.
