I've been given the task of cleaning up a Mac network that has 15 iMacs....some running 10.4 and some 10.5.
2 issues
1 - as a test I created an account called MacA on the server, and there are only 6 other accounts listed in the server....BUT, some of the iMacs that have complete access to the server, are not listed in the accounts on the server. So I can go to some of the 15 iMacs, and login as JohnD and have complete access, but JohnD is not on the list of server accounts. this seems to just be a roaming client in the network, how do I delete these roaming clients?
2 - When I am on a Machine that is running 10.5, I go to SYST PREF>ACCTS>LOGIN OPTIONS> and then a NETWORK ACCT SERVER(JOIN) option shows.....when I CLICK on this, I can type in the name of the central Mac server, and VOILA, I can then log in as the user MacA that I created on the central server
HOWEVER
on a machine running 10.4, when clicking on SYST PREF>ACCTS>LOGIN OPTIONS....there is no NETWORK ACCT SERVER(JOIN) option.....
what am I doing wrong.....and how exactly do I go about JUST creating accounts/users on the central server, and when these client machines get the login popup, ONLY the accounts that I've created can login to the server?
