ISSUE
For sometime now we have had an issue with the Macs keeping bound to AD (Active Directory). For some reason they lose the ability to authenticate which would usually happens after a couple weeks of a Mac being bound to AD.
This has been pretty consistent for over a year now, which has...
Update:
Well, it has been a couple weeks and I have been keeping an eye on the test computers and it looks like the LikeWise plug'n could not help with this either. Just checked the computer this morn. and all of them have dropped AD login. So once again back to square one.
I cannot...
This week I have been testing LikeWise Open and so far it's working rather nicely and this eve. I will pushing this out to a dozen computers in our commons/library area and I will let them be. I will be keeping an eye on them and if they do not start dropping AD authentication login on the Macs...
Yes, AD above OD. So if the AD user is not there or does not get access to AD at all users (Students) know there is a "student" user that will let them in. This "student" user is from OD.
I half though about imaging labs weekly but still a big job and if there are issues with a image session...
Hardware & OS X Verion
I have a few hundred Macs that are running anywhere between Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.6 - 10.5.8 (Most are 10.5.8 but there are a few labs that require a lower OS version due to software). The computers range from iMac G5's, Mac Pro's & iMac Intel Core 2 Duo's.
Our AD...

Today I have put together a small...
For the moment I have now added Public Beta images to the full article. As for getting the images, it not hard but for use I want permission from the original site which I have now.
Now for my next article, want to put together screen shots and a good wtie up on the OS's prior to OS X and get...
After some requests I'm trying to either get a copy of the install or permission for screen shots from else where to add to this article. Hope to add it because I think it would look cool. Also trying to to get Pre Beta images as well.
Ya, when I look back OS X 10.0-10.2 had a not so great DUI. Panther turned it around. As for iTunes, went from being a mp3 player to, well, everything related to Apple such as iphones, ipods, music, applications etc. :P
Ya, big difference from 10.2 - 10.3, Panther made it a lot easier on the eyes as well was a smoother running system at least for me when it came to working in big networking environment.
Almost spanning a decade and OS X (pronounced as "O"-"S"-"10" not "O"-"S"-"X") has gone through seven major OS revisions, eight including the up and coming OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard and today I decide to to actually install each of the OS X versions excluding Public Beta which I do not have and...
I have recently started up TwistedMac.com where the main goal is to post up free Mac software. The Mac OS has so many applications out there that are all free and I will try to post as many as possible.
I have collected a list of FPS (First Person Shooter) games that are FREE for Mac OS X and included a short video of gameplay for each.
