Enabling Managed Network View Visibility

Use one of these techniques to make a named network view visible on a client computer:

• Name the view using a subnet identifier that includes the computer.
• Name the view using the computer's Ethernet address or IP address.
• Name the view something else and identify the view in a computer record for the computer.

Then make sure that the search path of the computer is configured to access the directory in which the view is stored.

Public and Default views are accessible on any client computer that's configured to access the directories that store them.

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, and then click Settings.
5. To assign the view to a computer for which a computer record already exists in the current directory, go to step 6.

   To assign the view to a computer that currently has no computer record in the current directory, go to step 7.

   To browse for a computer that may or may not have a computer record already, go to step 8.

6. To assign the view to a computer with an existing computer record, click the Add (+) button and select Show Computers. Drag a computer from the drawer that appears into the Settings pane.
7. To assign the view to a computer in a new computer record, click the Add (+) button and choose New Computer.

   In the dialog box that appears, enter information into two fields.

   In the Name field, type the name you want to use to identify the computer.

   In the Ethernet ID field, type the computer's Ethernet address.

8. You can click the Browse button to browse for and identify a computer you want to use the view. The server searches for computers with the service type "workstation."These are the computers that are usually displayed in /Network/My Network.

   If the computer you select already has a computer record, a warning appears and the computer isn't added to the Settings list. To add the computer, use step 6.

   If the computer you select doesn't have a computer record, one is created and the computer is added to the list.

9. Click Save.
