O.k. so we have many Macs (OSX 10.4.x) in our mixed network enviroment. The PCs are all members of the domain and the users all log into them with domain accounts too. Do the Macs have to have a computer account on the domain before a user can enter their domain username and password into OSXs...

Hi, We have a mixed network or Windows 2000 PCs and Macs running OSX 10.3 and OSX 10.4 Apparently at the moment, the Macs on our network do not register on the DNS server. I read that this may be because the Sharing PrefPane should be the same as the DHCP client field. The DHCP client...

Hi, I wandered if there was any way to deploy connections to the printers on our network to the Macs (OSX 10.4.x) on our network. Our Macs print to the printers via IP using HP Socket Direct. We image new Macs before a new person starts but we dont always know which part of the building...

Hi, Is there a way to disable/turn off multicasting on my OSX server ? The reason I ask is because I am trying to deploy netinstall images to client Macs and when I am trying to do this my network grinds to a halt and someone said to me that multicast may have something to do with this ...

Hi, To date we have been reimaging any new Macs or failed ones with an image that sits on our external firewire drive. This image includes all our corporate apps etc etc. An an alternative to this, I would like to explore the use of NetBoot/NetInstall/NetRestore to reimage these machines...
