Hi everyone, I'm trying to find a clear-cut answer to something I'm trying to put together on my campus. I'm looking to deploy updates, but the problem is that nobody leaves their computers on when I need to deploy updates; they're shut down, not put to sleep. I do have ARD 2.2 admin...

I'm actually going to be making a full backup of the users' drives using Carbon Copy Cloner, since policy at where I work encourages making a bootable backup whenever possible prior to starting work on the computer itself, so I'll have all the data archived somewhere when I do the actual...

Hi all, A number of users I have on campus are going to be upgraded from 10.1 to 10.2, and I was wondering: can I import OS-level preferences from 10.1 to 10.2 and not have problems? I was looking at specifically copying things like Dock and Finder prefs. I imagine I won't have a problem with...

Hey Splinky, I had a question like yours too. Those of us that want to use Nero for whatever reason are out of luck. :( Source: http://fmpweb.connectix.com/kdb/FMPro?-db=kdb_web.fp5&-format=detail.htm&-lay=entry&-recID=34071&-find= CD-R(W) Support in Virtual PC Issue: Does...

Ah well, it was worth a shot. :( Thanks anyway! :cool:

Hey guys, I know that 10.1 did this, but is there any way that 10.2 can be configured to have the login screen remember the user name in the user name text box? I here log in using the user name and password text boxes method. Thanks for any help you can provide! :)

When Outlook (the only mail client used at work) gets ported over to X, Classic is gone daddy gone! :D

What does it look like? I have to disassemble an iMac and replace the analog video board.

Heh. I just use that method because it works really well if the computers are all on a network; if the network speed is fast, you can have it uploaded onto your computer and ready to go in like 10 minutes or less; a lot faster than waiting for the install to finish off of the CD. Plus, if you've...

I have been able to pull this off for a while, try this out next time; I'm assuming you've got a non-iMac, an extra hard drive or write access to a networked drive AND (most important) a CD burner. I know this is real unorthodox, but it's very effective if you need to get OS 9 installed...

Yes it does! :D

My God, you have no idea how many complaints I get about slow speed in OS X with the 1st gen iMacs and G3 towers. :( I'm implementing every Terminal hack and OS X tweak I can think of to max out speed in OS X. At least when money gets better, people can always purchase the G4 processor...

I talked to the boss about it, he's pretty adamant about staying with Outlook across the board. As it is, they're trying to kill off Macs and get everyone on Windows. :/

Just trying to coax speed wherever I can. TIA, Z

Here's the issue: Network Appliances, a division of Quantum, sold our IT staff a Network Appliance (herein referred to as "NETAPP") server to use to replace our old main file server (which happened to double as an NT domain controller), and will be used primarily as a file sharing server...

I'm still using OS 9 here because Microsoft hasn't gotten off their @#($@ and coded the OS X version of Outlook. We just use Outlook because...well...the boss said so. :o

Here's mine. :)

I'd like to know too. I'm mucking around in NetInfo and Directory Services to see if there's anything of use.

1. The ability to add SMB-based file shares to the keychain. 2. The ability to image drives to more than one computer (a la Norton Ghost) using Disk Copy.

Here's what I'd like to do... On a seperate hard drive (which has more space, and is the drive I designate to run OS 9.1 [and hence, Classic]), I'd like to use that as a Mac-only file server. The smaller hard drive I have runs OS X, but doesn't have enough space to host all the files I'd...
