  1. Filewave by VirexEye · · Score: 1 · on Large-Scale Mac Deployment?

    For application deployment and management post-imaging, check out Filewave as an alternative to Radmind and Casper that others have mentioned. It works great with large scale deployments (even Adobe products), and can also works with Windows as well. Basically, it gives you the ability to add, modify, and remove any file on the HD over the network on all your machines.

    Especially those with a list of apps, mashups or what ever the buzzword is today on top of that without links. Make your own decisions. BTW I only count 8.

  3. You're talking out of your ass. by MachineShedFred · · Score: 1 · on Can Apple Penetrate the Corporation?

    Smart Cards? http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304 035

    Certificates? Yeah it does that little standard called X.509. It uses the keychain to manage these for the users, and Mac OS X Server can even be a CA using OpenSSL.

    Distributed Policy Management? Oh, you can do that with Open Directory on Mac OS X Server.

    Packaged Software Distribution? Ok, Apple doesn't really have their own infrastructure for this, but there are 3rd party ones that work as good as anything Apple could hope for. Try FileWave. http://www.filewave.com/

    Please research a bit next time before pointing out a bunch of crap that is wrong.

  4. Mac enterprise solutions by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1, Informative · on Apple's Macworld Looking To Corporate Users

    Maybe you should read up a bit on Mac solutions before you comment- software like Apple Remote Desktop, FileWave, NetOctopus, NetBoot/NetRestore, Radmind, HP OpenView, Deep Freeze and resources like AFP548, Mac Managers, MacOSX Labs, MacEnterprise, and of course Apple itself (I'll leave finding Apple's website as an exercise for the reader ;) make running large Macintosh installations fairly easy. There are plenty of UNIX/CLI tools and scripts out there, and Apple offers professional certifications if you want paper to show a potential employer.

  5. Filewave! by Axello · · Score: 1 · on Managing Mac OS Updates in an Enterprise?

    If you have a couple of hundred Macs to update, you not only have to worry about the OS, but also the applications. That's where the third-party file distribution application help you. There is the open source 'rsync' ofcourse, but that doesn't really help you with the packaging of say, the upgrade of Adobe Photoshop 7 to CS, nor the distribution of it. The program I'm most fond of is FileWave http://www.filewave.com/. With this you can distribute any software package, update, document to any number of Macs, with any different number of persons or workgroups. It's quite costly, but if the number of Macs exceeds the hundred and/or you have different, far stretched locations, it could save you a bundle. Once the package is distributed, also to any laptop users, you can set a time in the future to activate the new package, and optionally deactivate the old package. This way you can distribute the software in advance, handy on slow uplinks, but activate it all at the same time.

    There is also NetOctopus http://www.netopia.com/software/products/netoctopu s/, but I have no experience with that.

    Couple this with ARD for remote support.

  6. You could also try FileWave by Dhrakar · · Score: 1 · on Managing Mac OS Updates in an Enterprise?

    Our local admin swears by FileWave http://www.filewave.com/ It allows you to do unattended updates, push out specific files and run install packages remotely. It is a commercial package, though...
