I have a large number of iBook-wielding teaching staff who I set up
with local accounts on their laptops. Students all have managed
networked home directories on the lab and classroom machines. I'd
like to start migrating staff users from their local accounts and
onto synchronised offline accounts, mainly so that the process of
backing up is automated, but also so that changing laptops between
staff (if one is broken) is easier and lastly so that staff can go to
a lab machine and get "their" environment if they need it.
My questions start with:
Is there a procedure that allows me to turn a local account on an
iBook and turns it into a mobility account on the OS-X Server? Staff
have logins on the server at the moment but these are separate to the
local accounts on their laptops. Is it possibly a matter of copying
all the contents of their home directory on the laptop into their
home folder on the network and then capturing the iBook as a managed
client in WGM?
Any guidance is appreciated.
