109Chapter 7 Managing Users’ Computers
If the user completes this pane:
A local user account is created on the user’s Mac, based on the user’s account on the Â
server. Both accounts have the same long name, short name, and password.
A home folder is set up on the user’s computer. Â
The user’s computer is automatically connected to your server and congured to get Â
services from it. For information, see “User Access to Services” on page 107.
The user may be unable to complete the “Connect to Mac OS X Server” pane for several
reasons. For example:
The user may not know your server’s name or may not have a user account on the Â
server. In these cases, the user can skip the “Connect to Mac OS X Server” pane by
deselecting “Use the following Mac OS X Server.”
The user’s Mac may not be connected to the network during initial setup. In this Â
case, the “Create Your Account” pane appears instead of the “Connect to Mac OS X
Server” pane, and the user creates a new account not based on a server account.
If the user doesn’t complete the “Connect to Mac OS X Server” pane for any reason,
the user can nish initial setup and then congure the Mac later to get services from
your server. For information about how the user does this, see the next section.
