Enabling Remote Configuration in Directory Access

[Kent Roller]

In the Directory Access app on an OS 10.2.x Workstation, how do I enable the “Enable Remote Configuration” command under the Server menu?

Am I mistaken (dreaming) to think that I can configure the Authentication bindings on 250 workstations from one physical location?

The admin guide says that this function is ENABLED by default on OSX Server, but DISABLED by default on OSX Workstion. The guide also says “On the remote computer, open Directory Access. If its Server menu includes Enable Remote Configuration, choose this item.”

Ok, what if the Server menu does NOT include Enable Remote Configuration? More specifically, what if the option is visible but gray, as is the case by default?

My apologies if this was asked/answered elsewhere. I can’t find it.

Thanks. The copy directory access preferences is a straightfoward tip. I’ll pass on the extra credit for now. 2 hours of sleep a night makes for bad driving.
