With growing Mac adoption in the enterprise, many organizations are deploying Mac proof-of-concept projects or implementing Mac systems for small groups of dedicated users. As an IT professional, you need to manage these Mac systems according to set organizational policies, yet your environment may not allow extension of your centralized directory service schema for proof-of-concept projects Or, you may not be permitted to create new computer records within your directory services. With this challenge in mind, Apple has ensured that Managed Preferences, the policy framework in Mac OS X, will also allow you to create and manage local management policies, rather than having to use a centralized directory service. You can then move to more traditional policy sources once your proof of concept is complete.

In this free online seminar, you will receive an in-depth demonstration from expert Apple Consulting Engineer Josh Wisenbaker. He will personally guide you through the tools and steps needed to implement local policies on a Mac, and to automatically deploy the policies you’ve established to other Mac systems.

You will learn about:

• The Required Toolset
  What you need: free downloads like Workgroup Manager and built-in Mac OS X features like dscl and mcxexport to help you implement and apply policies
  
• The Process
  What to do: from creating accounts to applying policies and automatically populating them among multiple Mac systems
  
• An In-Depth Walkthrough
  How to do it: step-by-step instructions for creating and applying Managed Preferences policies across multiple Mac systems
