At Ease 4.0: How To Setup For Workgroups

This article describes how to setup At Ease 4.0 for Workgroups.

For more information, see the "Apple Network Administrator Toolkit" manual in Part 2, Chapter 3 -- Setting Up Your At Ease Server -- page 2-27.



Step One - Configure the Server


                             
                       
Step Two - At Ease Administration


                       
                       
Step Three - Checking at the Server

Back at the server, open the At Ease Folder. There should be an At Ease Items WG folder which contains all of the At Ease Information.



If you are not updating from a previous version of At Ease for Workgroups, you may skip the following instructions.



If you are updating from a previous version of At Ease for Workgroups, you should have a folder called "At Ease Items" located on the volume which was previously specified as the At Ease Disk. MAKE A BACKUP OF THIS FOLDER BEFORE PROCEEDING. Drag the At Ease Items WG folder from the At Ease folder to the trash. Place the At Ease Items folder from the previous At Ease for Workgroups in the At Ease folder. Go to the administration workstation and launch At Ease Administration. You should get a message stating:

"At Ease Administration found preferences for an older version of At Ease. Do you want to convert this information to work with this version of At Ease? Note: The old preferences would not be modified in any way."

Click "Yes".

At Ease Administration can then convert the old information into the new format.




Step Four - Try it out
                       
Note: It does not matter what you name the At Ease Volume, or what you name the owner. The names chosen are examples that "made sense" to use when configuring At Ease. If you wish to name them something else, that is fine.
