Mac OS X Server 10.2: Server Does Not Appear in List When Configuring Group Volumes
When configuring a Group Volume within Workgroup Manager, the server does not appear in the list to be selected.
Products Affected
Mac OS X Server 10.3
Symptom
When configuring the Group Volume feature in Workgroup Manager, the server does not appear in the list to be selected.
Solution
In Mac OS X Server 10.2.3 or later, configuration of Group Volumes/Directories has been improved to more clearly convey how to use this option. See technical document 107265, "Mac OS X Server: About the Mac OS X Server 10.2.3 Update".
For versions 10.2 to 10.2.2:
To make your server appear in this list, the /Groups share point must be configured for automatic connection. However, it is not necessary to select your server from the list. Instead, you may enter the DNS name or the IP Address for the appropriate server.
Note: Automatic connection (automounting) is not required to use Group Volumes and may not be the preferred option. If this is the case, manually enter the DNS name or the IP Address of the server in the "Server" field. The fully qualified domain name is not required, you may enter just the hostname.
