20 Chapter 2 Migrating From Mac OS X Server Version 10.2
Step 7: Import previously exported users and groups
You can use Workgroup Manager or the dsimport tool to import users and groups. See
the command-line administration guide for dsimport instructions and a description of
the export file format.
To import users and groups using Workgroup Manager:
1 Place the export file(s) you created in step 4 in a location accessible from your server.
2 You can modify user accounts in an export file if you want to set passwords before
importing users.
Alternatively, you can set up the preset you defined in step 6 so that user passwords
are validated using Open Directory authentication and set up the password options so
that users are forced to change their passwords the next time they log in.
3 In Workgroup Manager, click the Accounts button.
4 Click the globe icon in the toolbar to open the directory into which you want to import
accounts.
5 Click the lock to authenticate as domain administrator.
6 Choose Server > Import, select the import file, and specify import options.
If you’re importing user accounts and using a preset created in step 6 for default home
directories or other settings, make sure you identify the preset.
7 Click Import.
8 To create home directories for imported users, you have several options.
Create home directories one at a time by selecting a user account in Workgroup
Manager, clicking Advanced, then clicking Create Home Now.
Create all the home directories by using the -a argument of the createhomedir
command. For details, see the command-line administration guide or the man page for
createhomedir.
A home directory associated with an AFP share point is automatically created the first
time a user logs in if it doesn’t exist already.
