Apple Mac OS X Server (version 10.2.3 or later) - Manual (Page 449)

Client Management: Mac OS 9 and OS 8 449
Step 7: Create computer lists
Computer lists let you group computers and apply the same settings to all the computers.
You can use a template to apply settings to a computer list. The All Other Computers account
lets you provide managed network access to computers that aren’t in a computer list.
For more information about using computer lists, see “Setting Up Computer Lists” on
page 476.
Step 8: Select global settings and set up managed preferences folders
In addition to various settings for users, workgroups, and computers, Macintosh Manager
provides other security and CD-ROM settings in the Global pane. You can also manage user
preferences by placing preference files in Forced, Initial, or Preserved preferences folders.
For information about using global settings, see “Using Global Security Settings” on page 487
and “Using Global CD-ROM Settings” on page 490.
For information about using managed preference folders, see “Managing Preferences” on
page 491.
Logging In to Macintosh Manager as an Administrator
The first time you open the Macintosh Manager administrative software and log in, you can
use your Mac OS X Server administrator account. Later on, you can still log in to the
Macintosh Manager administrator software using that account or other Macintosh Manager
administrator accounts that you set up.
To log in to Macintosh Manager:
1 Click the Macintosh Manager icon in the Dock to open Macintosh Manager. To open
Macintosh Manager from Workgroup Manager, click the Macintosh Mgr icon and choose
Open Macintosh Manager.
2 Enter your Mac OS X Server administrator account user name and password.
After you log in, you can add user accounts, create workgroups, create computer lists,
designate administrators, and access and change Macintosh Management service settings.
Working With Macintosh Manager Preferences
Macintosh Manager preference settings let you choose a sorting method for users and
workgroups and choose a format for exported reports. Only Macintosh Manager
administrators can change these settings.
To change Macintosh Manager preferences:
1 Log in to Macintosh Manager.
