Chapter 2 Migrating From Mac OS X Server Version 10.2 31
5 If you’ll restore home directories in locations that won’t exactly match the locations
identified in exported user records, you can define a preset that identifies the restore
location. If you identify the preset when you import users, the new location will replace
the existing location in user records.
You can also use the preset to specify other default settings you want imported users
to inherit, such as password settings, mail settings, and so forth.
Step 6: 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 1 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 5 so that user passwords
are validated using Open Directory authentication and set up the password validation
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, 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.
Step 7: Relocate saved data files
Place the files you saved from your version 10.2 server in their final locations.
