Server Admin 10.4 Help

Enabling or Disabling Virtual Share Points

Using Server Admin, you can control whether Mac OS X Server creates a virtual SMB/CIFS share point that maps to the share point selected for each user in the Home pane of Workgroup Manager. This simplifies setting up home directories for Windows users by using the same home directory for Windows and Mac OS X.

If you enable virtual share points, each user has the same network home directory whether logging in from a Windows workstation or a Mac OS X computer.

If you disable virtual share points, you have to set up an SMB/CIFS share point for Windows home directories, and you have to configure each Windows user account to use this share point.

1. Open Server Admin and select Windows in the Computers & Services list.
2. Click Settings, then click Advanced.
3. Click "Enable virtual share points."
4. Click Save.
