Thread-topic: Advice for setting-up 1,000+ new users
Why not set the macs to authenticate to the Windows server? Why not set
the Mac server to authenticate to the Windows server, then have the macs
authenticate to the mac server. You might want to look at
macenterprise.org or afp548.com for info on directory integration. It's
not too hard, provided you have a helpful windows admin (as I do), a
basic understanding of LDAP and some time to thrash it out. It's been
discussed many times on the lists, so you might want to go digging
through the archives as well.
Hope this helps you out,
Michael

Hi this is my first post.
Came here because I'm stuck.
I am in a senior school that has created a Digital Arts Base with 25
eMacs and a G5 running 10.3 Server.
I need to create accounts for over a 1000 users so that they all have
a password protected space on the server.
I can get a tabbed list of names and passwords from the existing
Windows server but I don't know if I can set up an automated process
for this task or will I have to key in all the user info individually?
The manuals haven't been all that helpful, so I thought I could ask
here next.
Thanks in advance
Lee
