Never means it isn’t managed and the user has full control. Manage once allows for the preference to be set on the
machine, but is modifiable. Giving the users a simple dock at login with common items, then allowing them to
change the contents is a good way to blend simple access to applications, yet flexibility on the users behalf.
In addition to the preferences for the group, there are preferences that can be set for the workstation.
Here is a screenshot of our
Workstation container for OS
X machines. As seen to the
left, the apple-computer
object has a few attributes
with values. They are the
name of the machine, the
MAC address of the machine,
as well as the MCX flag
(apple-mcxflags on the object)
to if you wish to use the
directory-based name of the
machine for the actual
workstation name. Once the
machines have been added to
the directory, they can then be
utilized to build workstation
lists.
The image to the right shows the machine name that is desired for
the workstation, as well as the setting to “Use this name as the
Computer Name for managed clients”, the computer list to which it
belongs, and the associated MAC address of the machine.
The workstation lists, shown on the next page, allow you to group the
machines into logical lists and then apply settings to the entire group.
This has been helpful in adding printers automatically, and login
window messages that pertain to the specific lab or area.
