Standard installation and User folders on different drive

Hi,
Since I had some time, today, I tried a Standard installation of Leopard Server.
How do you set the drive you want to user for the home folder of your users?
I would not like to have the home folders on the boot drive of the server, but I couldn't find any option to change it.
JO

What sort of users do you mean? If you're talking about network users who are using Macs bound to the server, all that stuff is in WorkGroup manager.

  • After copying my Applications and Users folders to external drive using Carbon Cooy Cloner, I cannot see the files on the drive when accessing them from a freshly installed OS.

    The folder where the Archive should be is empty yet activity monitor shows that the drive isn't empty

    Use Data Rescue on the Mac and out the recovered files to another external drive.
    Just grab your users files, the rest you trash. That's all you can do.
    Good Luck

    Hi,
    Interface mappings register your mapping program for an interface pair in the Integration Repository. If you require a mapping at runtime, it is sufficient to select the interface mapping for the interface pair at configuration time .The Integration Server uses the interface mapping to identify associated mapping programs for request messages, response messages, fault messages, or all three.
    Features
    Executing Multiple Mapping Programs for One DirectionBy using an interface mapping you can execute multiple mapping programs consecutively for the transformation of a request or response message. In such cases, an interface mapping comprises multiple steps for which the following applies:
    ●     The steps are executed in the sequence specified (from top to bottom). The result of the mapping program from the previous step is forwarded to the mapping program of the subsequent step.
    ●     Each step can reference a mapping program that executes a 1:1, 1:n, n:1, or an m:n transformation. In the case of multi-mappings (1:n, n:1, or m:n), the previous step must create the same number of messages that the subsequent step expects.
    ●     Multi-mappings use one envelope to put all messages in one structure. If one of the steps references a multi-mapping program, all subsequent steps must use the same envelope.
    The mapping for a request message comprises two message mapping programs: one 1:1 transformation and one 1:n transformation. Since the latter message mapping uses the multi-mapping envelope for both the target message and the source message, the message mapping for the 1:1 transformation must also create a transformation result with a multi-mapping envelope.
    You do not strictly need to divide up one direction of the whole mapping into different steps. However, this enables all the message formats in one system landscape to be mapped to a central message format, for example. This results in less mapping programs being required because you no longer need to be able to map all the different message formats to each other
    Activities
           1.      Create a message mapping on the design maintenance screen of the Integration Builder (see also: Creating an Object).
    You can also create multiple interface mappings for the same interface pair.
           2.      Enter the source and target interfaces that require a mapping of the request message, the response message, the fault message, or all three, in the table of the same name. The following restrictions apply:
    ○     If you want to use the interface mapping in a transformation step in an integration process, you must only specify abstract message interfaces. Furthermore, all objects (integration process, interface mapping, and all objects that reference the interface mapping) must be in the same software component version. If you want to reference objects from underlying software component versions, you must access the objects from the Basis Objects branch (in the navigation tree or using an input help).
    ○     If you want to map multiple messages to each other by using a multi-mapping, you can only specify asynchronous interfaces (for further restrictions, see: Multi-Mappings). If any message interfaces are missing, you can also create them by using the function Create New Object ().
    If the interface cannot be imported or cannot be created in the Integration Repository (in the case of an external adapter, for example), you must enter the interface names manually. However, it is not possible to check the technical name in this case.
           3.      To import the properties of the interfaces, choose Read Interfaces. The table in the lower area displays tab pages for the request message, response message, and if available, for the fault message, for each mode of the interfaces (either synchronous or asynchronous).
           4.      To develop an external mapping program, export the XSD schema of the respective request or response message as a zip file after you have imported the interfaces. The zip file can contain multiple schema files that reference each other, for example in a multi-mapping. In this case, the schema with the global message element has the name MainSchema.
           5.      To reference a mapping program for the respective message, you have the following options:
    ○     Select an existing mapping program from the Integration Repository by using the input help (). If this is a message mapping, the default setting of the input help only displays those message mappings that are found using the source and target message in the Integration Repository (in multi-mappings, the first source and target messages are used as the search criteria). However, you can also display any number of message mappings, for example, because you are constructing a mapping from several mapping programs with intermediate instances which have no message types.
    ○     You can create message mappings directly from the interface mapping. To do this, select the mapping type Message Mapping in the Type column. Position the cursor in the Name column and choose the function Create New Message Mapping () in the Mapping Program frame. The Integration Builder copies the specifications of the messages and their occurrence directly from the interface mapping.
    An interface mapping can only reference mapping programs that belong to the same or an underlying software component version of the interface mapping. This ensures that the mapping program can be shipped together with the interface mapping (see: Software Logistics).
           6.      If it is not a mapping for a fault message, you can execute multiple mapping programs in succession for request and response messages:
    ○     To insert an additional line for a mapping program, choose .
    ○     To delete the registration for a mapping program, choose .
    At runtime, the mapping programs are executed from top to bottom.
           7.      Save the interface mapping.

  • Move Users folders from external drive to a new internal drive

    Hi All,
    I have a white Intel iMac running Snow Leopard. I have kept the Users folder (4 users) on an external hard disk (too many photos and movies). The internal hard disk recently died, but since all user data was on the external, I wasn't too worried.
    The iMac now has a new hard disk, and I've installed the system back, starting from the original System Install DVD so that all the iApps are also reinstalled.
    What I want to do now is to move the user folders to the internal drive, and use the external for backups. It seems that I can't use Migration Assistant because it only works when moving data from another Mac or another startup drive. I've looked around the forums and on the web, and the only thing I found was a post on TUAW in which the writer talked about eventually having to do this but without giving much info about how to do it (http://www.tuaw.com/2009/05/14/tuaw-tip-moving-your-home-folder-to-another-disk- or-moving-it).
    Does anyone have any experience moving the user folders from an external drive to an internal drive, (or even just having a Mac recognize user folders on an external drive from another machine)?

    Thanks, but that site doesn't have a clear answer.
    Correct. As it clearly states, there are too many variables to have detailed solutions for every possible situation.
    In the 'pink' box, which best matches my situation, the instructions begin with: "•You must be logged on to the account being moved...".
    That's not clear at all. How do I log in to an account that doesn't exist yet? Connecting a hard disk that has a home folder to a new Mac doesn't allow me to 'log on' to that home folder's account, because it doesn't yet exist on the new Mac.
    You may have to set up user accounts "from scratch." Then change the ownership and permissions on the old home folders so you can copy the contents of the sub-folders from the old home folders to the new ones.
    If you're comfortable with permissions and Terminal, this may help: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-20013630-263.html

  • User folders in different language!

    I got some serious computer troubles some days ago that now seems to be fixed but my USER ACCOUNT folders (I mean Documents, Library, Movies, Music, Pictures, Public and Sites) are in a different language (It could be in spanish but now appears in english). I suspect that i moved or trashed some of the USER preferences. Can you help me to solve it, please? I'm losing my sanity :-/ Thanks so much!

    Thanks Eric. I did it but it seems not to solve the problem. If I go to International, into the System Preferences, and change to other languages I get after reboot the logical results in the whole computer system, but my user folders remains fixed in ENGLISH no matter the language I chose.
    If I try to rename the folders in spanish, like the rest of the system, I lose the icons and the MacOS wont recognize it as user folders :-/
    Please, any other help?
    Thanks again, Eric.

  • Users/Groups on different drive

    OS X Server has a single system disk and two others in a mirror RAID configuration. The OS defaults to having the Unix Users and Groups directories on the system drive, but for data security I want user data on the RAID.
    I can see three options:
    1. create completely different directories on the RAID and administer these as separate entities, ignoring Users/Groups
    2. delete the system directories and create new directories called Users and Groups on the RAID (I suspect that this is the 'least good' option)
    3. create symlinks from Users/Groups to the folders on the RAID
    How would you approach this?

    Nigel,
    We have been using your #1 option for several years without any problems. Separate directory on a separate drive. Our default Users/Groups folders on the system disk are empty. I did stop sharing on the default ones to make sure that I did not put anyone or anything in them by mistake. I have no idea if the actual name would be a problem so I called our shared users file "Userhomes" to eliminate any potential issues and clarify which folder I created.

  • Can I create a full backup on google drive by moving my user folders to Google Drive Folder?

    Can I create a full backup on google drive? Google suggested I simply move my folders (Pictures, Music, Downloads, Documents, etc) into the google drive folder. But these seem to be automated files involved with Mac's organization... will this create problems for my computer? Ie. if I import new photos, or download music, will my computer know where to put it if its in google drive?
    If this is a problem, how else could I possibly create a full backup of personal data on google drive (or any similar syncing service, for that matter).  iCloud is prohibitively expensive, and programs like crash plan and carbonate run so slowly and bog down my computer so much that they are not worth it. Google drive seems simplest and most competitive in price, but I am worried about moving my folders.
    Help?

    Google Drive also installs a client--a google drive folder on my hard drive that is programmed to sync changes automatically to the cloud--that allows me to drag and drop.  I suppose my original concern was about dragging files from my hard drive (such as "pictures" that would contain my iPhoto library, etc) into it.  Would that mess up Mac's internal organizational system? If I drag and drop my pictures folder, music folder, etc. into the google drive client folder in Finder, will those applications still function correctly?  Will my mac still be able to figure out where to put photos I import from my camera, etc?
    I am only as tech savvy as I have to be to survive professionally as a traveling teacher, so I am looking for something pretty straightforward that will free up some of my brain waves for other activities, rather than remembering which folders I have made changes in and need to sync.

  • Will changing location for Itunes Apps and Music files to different drive (from dive C: to drive E:)now effect how they work. And will Itunes be able to find them, when I do a sync?

    Will changing the location of folders effect how my Itunes will run? As I am runnig out of room fast on my C drive. And have almost a 1 terrabyte of room on the drive I want it to all to go to. I was thinking of just cutting and pasting.

    No, but do not simply move files around else you will have a lot of grief...
    Do NOT move files then change iTunes prefs to a new location as this will not work.
    Quit iTunes.
    Copy your entire /Music/iTunes/ folder (and everything inside it) on your C: drive to the E: drive.
    Hold Shift and launch iTunes.
    Select Choose library and select the iTunes folder you copied to the E: drive.
    That is all you need to do. You do not need to change any other settings.

  • Locate my media and library on a different drive letter

    I am using the latest iTunes for Windows.  I have my media in "Z:\Music\My Music CDs\" folder and sub directories, while iTunes library is in "Z:\Music\iTunes".
    I haven't consolidated the media inside iTunes because I prefer to create/edit my MP3's using other software.  All my media are from my collection of CD's.. nothing purchased.
    Anyhow,my music tracks inside iTunes library (in "Z:\Music\iTunes") have a path like "Z:\Music\My Music CDs\Blues\Elmore James\Let's Cut It\abc.mp3"
    I would like to move the Z:\Music\... to a new computer.  However, the drive letter on the new computer for media is Y.
    I copied the files over to Y:, installed iTunes on the new computer, opened the .itl file, now residing in "Y:\Music\iTunes\".  However, my media links in the iTunes library point to "Z:\Music\My Music CDs\", whereas, the actual files on the new pc are in "Y:\Music\My Music CDs\".  While the content shows up listed iTunes, every file is considered "missing" by iTunes, who asks me to locate the file.
    How do I copy my media and library, from "Z:\Music\.." to ""Y:\Music\.."?
    Thanks.

  • How to get new iTunes installation to "recognize" library on different drive

    I had two hard drives on my PC - call them A:\ and B:\.
    iTunes was installed on A:\.
    A:\ was limited in storage capacity, so at some point I moved my iTunes library to the much larger B:\ - and it remains there today. The iTunes Media Folder location is B:\iTunes\iTunes Media. (This switchover of the library to B:\ was accomplished a long time ago, and frankly I do not remember how I "made it work" - as will become clear in this post...).
    The hard drive A:\ crashed and I lost everything. Good thing all the music and other content is on B:\ !
    I replaced A:\ with a new drive, call it C:\ and installed iTunes on that new drive.
    Now, how to I get the newly installed iTunes on C:\ to use the library that is on B:\ - to display all the music (and movies, etc.), let me create playlists, synch my iPods, iPad and iPhone, etc.?
    I went into iTunes to Preferences > Advanced and changed the iTunes Media Folder location to B:\iTunes\iTunes Media, and saved. What do I do now? I thought it would be as simple as using iTunes' "Add file to library", then navigating to B:\, selecting the root iTunes folder and clicking "Open." But that doesn't do it.
    What do I need to do?
    Also - when I get the new installation of iTunes to work with the old library, will my old playlists still be there?
    Will the device profiles of my various devices still be recognized (as they were when using my previous installation of iTunes), or will I have to introduce them to iTunes as if they were new devices?

    Hello Mae Sot,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like, from your description that we need to point iTunes to the library located in the 'B:\' drive and have iTunes load it.
    You definately did one of the steps to tell iTunes to store and access content to the correct library. Next do this to "load" that specific iTunes library:
    If iTunes is running, quit iTunes.
    If you are using Windows, hold down the Shift key and from the Start menu and choose All Programs > iTunes > iTunes.
    If you are using the Mac, open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option key.
    You should see one of the following screens:
    From: iTunes: How to open an alternate iTunes Library file or create a new one
              http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1589
    It should contain the playlists you had before.

  • How can I move my address file and mail folders from one drive image to the active drive?

    I have a drive with recovered data from a crashed drive. How do I import the Thunderbird address file to the new, current drive ( also the mail folders ) ?

    Look at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-tb#w_how-to-find-your-profile to locate your profile on the recovered disk.
    If you are just starting TB with a new profile, the simplest thing to do would be to copy the recovered profile to the directory where your current profile is located. Then switch; see https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/using-multiple-profiles to switch to the other profile

  • BC 3 and Users folders hidden in XP

    I've got four user accounts on my computer, and when I've booted into Windows XP on my Boot Camp partition (having installed the BC 3 drivers with Snow Leopard) I'm pleased to see the Mac partition as promised. Unfortunately, contents of only three of the users' are visible from XP when I'm exploring the Mac partition, and as luck would have it mine is the only one not visible. For some reason I'm unable to see into my own directory. (I see all the directories listed, but I can only see contents of three of them.)
    So what controls whether a user's home directory is viewable from Windows via the new BC3 HFS driver?

    A Google search revealed a solution for this problem, although I can't say for sure that it is permanent.
    There is an invisible file called .xauthority at the root level of the Home folder. If you move this to the Trash, the next time you start Windows, the contents of the Home folder will be accessible. In order to find the file, search with Command-F in the Finder, set File visibility to Invisible items and search for .xauthority.
    Talk about a non-intuitive solution to a problem!
