E-mail

Written by Philip Rinehart
Friday, 30 March 2007
ldapsearch is one of the standard tools included with OpenLDAP to query LDAP directories. Because Active Directory is ldap compliant, it can be queried as well! Be first to comment this article \| Add as favourites (231) \| Quote this article on your site \| E-mail

This is an applescript for use in lab situations where clients may leave , but forget their CDs, Flash Drives, etc. This code is meant to be added to longer logout script (this script does not actually log someone out)..

Office 2004 PackageMaker

E-mail

Written by Geoff Franks
Thursday, 03 August 2006
Looking for an easy way to deploy Office 2004 updates through ARD? As many people have suggested, the easiest way is to repackage the update as an Apple .pkg installer by examining the installer log file. Since it installs outside the /Applications/Office 2004 directory, snapshotting from PackageMaker isn't so nice. This script makes the process a whole lot easier. Update 2006-08-11: Adjusted the script to read the computer's HD name, rather than hard code it, for more widespread use.

Electoral Vote - Repairing Permissions with Disk Utility

E-mail

Written by Richard Glaser
Tuesday, 04 April 2006
Using Disk Utility to repair disk permissions is becoming the catch-all fix for solving system instability. It almost has reached the infamous status of rebuilding the Desktop DB in Mac OS 9. Each time something is installed from a package file a "Bill of Materials" file is created in the /Library/Receipts/ directory. Each of these ".bom" files contains a list of files and/or folders that were installed by that package, along with the proper permissions for each item. According to many Disk Utility overviews the .bom files in /Library/Receipts/ are scanned and compared to the actual permissions of each file on the local file system. In reality, it doesn't appear that this is completely true. Be first to comment this article \| Add as favourites (112) \| Quote this article on your site \| E-mail

Creating Snapshot Packages with packagemaker

E-mail

Written by Patrick McNeal
Wednesday, 29 March 2006
In XCode 2.2, Apple quietly introduced a new snapshot option to packagemaker that can create a package by tracking changes to a specific directory. The man page for packagemaker has been updated, but the current version, XCode 2.2.1, contains a couple of mistakes and no examples. This article hopes to fill in the missing pieces.
