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?


Hi Nathan,

Here is what I do...

- Move the local home data to somewhere else on the machine - Delete the local user account - Clean all MCX caches on the machine - Have the user login as the mobile user, answer "yes" to the "Create Mobile Home" question - Move the local data into the new account on the machine - Run a sync up to the server.

HTH,

Jaime
