48 Chapter 3 Getting Started with Workgroup Manager
Listing Accounts in Available Directory Domains
Using Workgroup Manager, you can list user accounts, group accounts, computer
accounts, and computer groups residing in any available directory domain accessible
from the server you’re connected to.
Available directory domains are not the same as directory domains in a search policy.
A search policy consists of the directory domains a server searches routinely when it
needs to retrieve accounts. However, the same server might be configured to access
directory domains that haven’t been added to its search policy.
To learn how to configure access to directory domains, see Open Directory
Administration.
To list accounts in a directory domain accessible from a server:
1 In Workgroup Manager, connect to a server where you can access the directory
domains.
2 Click the globe icon and then choose the domain where the user’s account resides.
If the directory domain is not listed, add it to the pop-up menu by choosing Other. In
the dialog that appears, select the domain and then click OK.
3 Choose from the following:
 To view user accounts, click the Users button.
 To view group accounts, click the Groups button.
 To view computer accounts, click the Computers button.
 To view computer groups, click the Computer Groups button.
4 To work with a particular account, select it.
Changing the account requires domain administrator privileges, so you might need to
click the lock to authenticate.
Refreshing Account Lists
If more than one administrator makes changes to directory domains, make sure you’re
viewing the current list of user accounts, group accounts, computer accounts, and
computer groups by refreshing the lists.
To refresh account lists, click Refresh in the toolbar. Alternatively, click the globe icon
and then choose the directory domain you’re working in from the pop-up menu.
Finding Specific Accounts in a List
After you’ve displayed a list of accounts in Workgroup Manager, you can filter the list to
find particular users or groups.
You can choose from several filters:
