Ian,

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I was able to get a vnc server setup on the XServe using SSH and then installed the client on my desktop and was able to access the server with a GUI interface. This is going to be so much quicker for me than trying to learn all the terminal commands right away.

Thanks again.

Thanks for your response. I guess I will go ahead and give AD a try. The problems we have had in the past relate to our small business server. Sometimes AD would stop accepting Mac user names and passwords. I could create a workaround by creating the user in a different container in the AD rather than the default SBS users. This went on for about a year and now it seems to be working properly again.

Unfortunately I didn’t realize I would have to purchase Apple Remote Desktop to fully administer the server (like using disk utility to mirror drives, etc.) so I will get that setup before I go for the full AD integration.

Thanks again.
