Server Admin 10.4 Help

Adding Dynamic Lists to Managed Network Views

You can automate showing lists of network resources in a managed view by using dynamic lists.

Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server can use Open Directory to discover network services, such as file servers, that make themselves known with AppleTalk, SLP, or SMB/CIFS service discovery protocols. You use Directory Access on the server hosting your network views to enable or disable the various service discovery protocols you may want to use to provide dynamic lists.

1. Open Workgroup Manager, and click Network.
2. Click the small globe above the Network Views list to choose the network directory in which the view resides.
3. Click the lock to authenticate as a domain administrator for the directory.
4. In the Network Views list, select the view you want to work with.
5. In the Layout pane, click the Add (+) button and select Add Dynamic List.
6. In the list that appears, select a service discovery location. You can select multiple locations by holding down the Command key while selecting them.
7. Click Add.
8. Click Save.
