In this lesson, I just want to go through the typical small business setup, if you have, you know,
a small business with one Mako's server and a bunch of exclusive Mako's clients.
So this is sort of like taking everything we've covered in this section and pulling it all together
in this final lesson.
So the first thing I want to talk about is just a review of what you should do on your network, so
you should have a router that has the ability to do that.
Translation has a integrated server, DNS service and ideally a firewall that you can also configure
for inbound and outbound connections that will be connected to the Internet and that will be hosted
on your network and connected to a network switch or hub, or if you have a router that has a built
in four or five ports which connected directly to your Austin server.
So once you've connected the Austin server, you want to go through the process of creating an open
directory master and setting up your users and groups for all the people in your organization and the
groups for the resources you're going to share if you choose to use profile manager.
And I would be a good time to set that up if at the very basics, instead of using it as an MDM, you
may just want to create some basic model config profiles for controlling some settings and limiting
users access to various system preferences, or configuring a user interface that's consistent, easy
to use and branded for your organization.
And then if you choose to enable content caching, this is a good idea to do this as well, so that
all of your Mac OS updates, App Store downloads and other things that would normally have to pull down
from Apple's servers can be hosted and more locally on your OS 10 server.
Once you've found your MapQuest clients to open directory and you have gone through the process of creating
your users and groups and you've created your file and your printers on your MapQuest server, you're
ready to start to set up a file and print sharing.
So here's where you would assign printers to groups, assigned file shares and pull everything together
so that your users can log in and access all these network resources that you have running on your own
server.
