Eric- We have "mid-winter recess" now til a week from this Monday-I can check then. Will this "push" the preference out to client workstations though?

I know there's a way to do this...At my school we're having problems with students accessing sites we would rather they didn't.....you know. So we'd like to put "strict" parental controls on websites through forced preferences. Suggestions on how this is accomplished? Thanks!

When we were using OS 10.2 Server (Workgroup Mgr. & Mac Mgr.) for our OS 9.2 clients, I was able to limit the number of pages each student in my school could print each day, and it also printed the client's account name at the bottom of each page. Now with OS 10.3, I can't find those same...

So I guess that it's a slow go to Panther for those machines.... I do have a couple of slot-loading non-firewire (350mhz) machines that I will try though. Thanks Bob

We have a few older G3 iMacs (tray loading) on our school network that I'm trying to upgrade via disk image. Booting off the firewire drive has proved very quick and effective for our firewire equipped machines. But these tray loading (333mhz) machines have no firewire. One of my drives has a...

I enable the image on NIU. I went to a imac and boot up with the N key.....nothing happened. It show an icon with a question mark then it goes to the login screen. What should I do.. Many thanks!

Among the "Options" selections, it didn't offer "block level copying". I hope this won't make a huge difference in deployment time. I will not be in the school until (perhaps) late afternoon. So I won't know how it goes until late Friday or early Monday morning. Perhaps I'll have questions...

Another question. It's been "saving" for nearly an hour now. Does that sound right to you? Will it also take this much time to "deploy" it to a workstation? Am I better off to put an image on a firewire drive and load it individually on each workstation? If that is faster-do I load a "boot...

"one of your network ports"......hmmm. I'm still waiting on the image to finish copying to the server, so I can't actually look at this window yet. But wondering what a "network port" is going to look like? Bumping into ignorance here... -Curtis

Okay, so far, so good...I created an Install Image. I've exported it to the NetBootSPO file. The image is 4.16gb, so it's taking a while... What's the next step? How do I "enable the image to deploy"? After that, can I actually boot up a workstation with the "n" key down and it will begin a...

I thought that the approximately 3 year old xServe might not be up to the task of performing the NetInstalls. I'd be working a room at a time...roughly 4 workstations in each room. I didn't think of our server as really solid, especially with one of its drive bays not working. Based on your...

Okay...now regarding the NetBoot function: this isn't the setup where the machines run like "thin clients" and always boot off of the server, right? You're just using NetBoot to install the OS with the server as the source, yes? We have an "older" G4 xServer. Two drive bays (one "degraded")...

Thanks for the advice! (Running the school network without a license....always a dangerous thing.) I'm assuming that you connect the target disk mode machine to the servertools machine with a firewire.. Netboot server is new to me. I assume it is among the server functions. Once the...

Recently went through an OS 10.3 upgrade. It came with an iPod with an image. The image/upgrade was purchased for G3 iBooks 700mhz. I was told by the tech that did the server/iBook upgrade that the image would work with our G3 iMacs. Now as we're trying to push the image onto the iMacs, we have...
