| Tóm tắt: | Our goal in writing this book is to have a single definitive guide to Apple's Managed Preferences.
We speak at conferences, participate on mailing lists, write blogs and magazine columns and
work in Mac-heavy environments. We see Mac administrators on a daily basis asking questions
about this facet of the operating system. The number one misconception about Apple’s Managed
Preferences is that in order to use it, you must have an OS X Server. This is not the case! You can
take advantage of Managed Preferences no matter your environment: from one stand-alone
Macintosh, to a handful of Macs in a Windows environment, to thousands of Macs surrounded
by Unix servers. All it takes is a little knowledge, and a little elbow grease.
Owing to the phrase, "Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will
eat for a lifetime," we want to both teach you to fish and give you a fish. We teach you the inner
workings of Managed Preferences and everything it relies on. We also want to get you up and
running quickly, so, there is also a chapter with Managed Preference recipies: step-by-step
instructions that help you tackle the most common management issues straight away.
We've written this book using Mac OS X version 10.6, "Snow Leopard" as a guide, but all of the
information is applicable to version 10.5, also. Much of it likely applies to 10.4, too, but we didn't
test on that revision, as Apple no longer supports Mac OS X v10.4.
If you're a Windows administrator that just had a bunch of Macs thrust into your environment
and are now responsible for dealing with them, this book is for you. While it's not quite Group
Policy, Macs are manageable.
Many of you may already use an off the shelf system to manage Macintosh machines. Is this book
for you? Yes, of course! Managed Preferences allow you to work in conjunction with your existing
management system.
We've absolutely tried to wring out every facet of Managed Preferences that you must know
about. This makes you a more complete Mac administrator and, in turn, makes your job easier.
When you have your delivery infrastructure set up, being able to quickly deploy preferences when
needed can make you a technological super hero. Enjoy your newfound powers! |
