Ok, I'm not only a rather novice mac user, I'm a networking novice as well, so, please, don't hurt me as I ask-
My school's art lab just got a powermac G5 server, came with OSX server already installed. We're having some problems, or, rather, are trying to do some things that we don't know how to do. (My teacher isn't the most computer literate person, so I'm helping)
Anyway.. basically what we're trying to do is make it so that my teacher can manage preferences and make users that will all be global for the lab.
I'm not sure if remote desktop is required for that, but we have that as well, just not installed yet..
Also, we'd like to be able to have the other computers be able to access an external harddrive connected to the server. I'm unable to see it in the sharing section of the workgroup manager.
Maybe helpful info:
The network in the lab is part of a subnet for our entire school, I beleive.
The computers in the lab are all 1st gen iMacs (or they look like it), and G3 towers. There's also the g5 which I've mentioned.
Thank you in advance for any and all help!
