54 Chapter 5 Managing Windows Services
To forcibly disconnect users of Windows services:
1 Open Server Admin and select Windows in the Computers & Services list.
2 Click Connections to see a list of the users currently connected to the Windows
services.
The list includes the users’ names, IP addresses, and duration of connections.
3 Select users that you want to forcibly disconnect and click Disconnect.
Changing the Server’s Windows Identity
You can change a server’s identity among clients of Windows services by changing the
server’s Windows computer name or by changing its Windows domain or workgroup.
Changing the Server’s Windows Computer Name
Using Server Admin, you can change the computer name by which Mac OS X Server is
known in a Windows domain or workgroup. If the server is the primary domain
controller (PDC) or a Windows domain member, the computer name is the server’s
NetBIOS name in the domain. If the server provides standalone Windows services but is
not the PDC or a domain member, the computer name is the server’s NetBIOS name in
the workgroup. Windows users see this name when they connect to the server.
To change the Windows computer name of Mac OS X Server:
1 In Server Admin’s Computers & Services list, select Windows for the server whose
Windows computer name you want to change.
2 Click Settings (near the bottom of the window), then click General (near the top).
3 Enter the computer name, then click Save.
The name should contain no more than 15 characters, no special characters, and no
punctuation. If practical, make the server name match its unqualified DNS host name.
For example, if your DNS server has an entry for your server as “server.example.com,”
give your server the name “server.”
4 If the server is the PDC or a Windows domain member, you must authenticate by
entering the name and password of a user account that can administer the LDAP
directory domain on the PDC server.
Since workgroups are ad hoc, you do not have to authenticate as an administrator to
change the computer name of a server that provides only standalone Windows
services.
From the Command Line
You can also change the server name using the serveradmin command in Terminal.
For more information, see the file services chapter of the command-line administration
guide.
