| - | \\ | + | |
| - | use the entire harddrive, but erase it first. \\ | + | ====== Networking ====== |
| - | uses the "apple + q" trick to bypass the registration screen, \\ | + | In system preferences > network, set the workstation to "Using DHCP" and add the mac address to the DHCP server in the format "<sys name> - mac". |
| - | use the username "macadmin" \\ | + | |
| - | ===== software ===== | + | ====== radmind ====== |
| - | A copy of the software installed on the machines is sitting in macadmins public folder on workstation3.local. | + | ===== building a base image ===== |
| - | It is split into 3 categories: copy to install, mount and copy, and annoying installs. | + | ==== fresh install ==== |
| + | |||
| + | install a clean install of os x and run system updates **only**. | ||
| + | === Setting up the user === | ||
| + | * Name: MacAdmin | ||
| + | * Short Name: macadmin | ||
| + | * password: <put in the common admin password here> | ||
| + | ==== Updates ==== | ||
| + | click the apple, go to software update. | ||
| + | ==== install radmind ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | install RadmindTools.pkg from http://rsug.itd.umich.edu/software/radmind/download.html | ||
| + | ==== configure radmind ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | download [[http://webapps.itcs.umich.edu/radmind/index.php/10.5-desktop-negative.T|10.5-desktop-negative.T]] and save it as /var/radmind/client/10.5-desktop-negative.T | ||

| - | in annoying installs: xcode must be installed before macports, and mumble will want you to logout | ||
| - | ===== Config guest user ===== | ||
| - | In system Preferences >> Accounts: | ||
| - | enable the guest account | ||
| - | disable automatic login | ||
| - | ===== Alternative setup ===== | ||
| - | The mac named "river" has had AD logon enabled on it. ACM users can use there AD account on this machine. | ||
| - | I was working on shared home directories with ACM, but the problem I ran into is the UID's are not consistant. The ACM server uses likewise to handle AD auth, and likewise uses it own hasing method to generate uid's. Apple uses a different hashing method. Apple has the option to use the UID from another field, so I enabled unix services for AD on the AD server. Likewise does not seem to have a similar option. In the next server upgrade, I am going to recomend not using likewise, and using the AD server as a standard LDAP server for authentication and authorization. | ||
| - | ====== Other machines ====== | ||
| - | There are 3 G4 mac workstations available for use in the acm office. | ||
| - | Another G4 is used to host the library server. It currently displays a pictures slide-show. 3 more G4 mac machines are now set up in the ACM office for use. | ||
