Many systems administrators on the Mac need a way to manage machine
configuration after initial setup and deployment. Apple's Managed
Preferences system (also known as MCX) is under-documented, often
misunderstood, and sometimes outright unknown by sys admins. MCX is
usually deployed in conjunction with an OS X server, but it can
also be used in Windows environments or where no dedicated server
exists at all. Enterprise Mac Managed Preferences is the definitive
guide to Apple's Managed Client technology. With this book, you'll
get the following: * An example-driven guide to Mac OS X Managed
Preferences/Client technology* Recipes for common use case studies
and patterns* A targeted approach appropriate for any sys admin
that manages Macs in an OS X or Windows environment This is the
only book that focuses on this facet of OS X exclusively. If you're
a sys admin, this book will take away much of the pain of working
with OS X client systems. Even better, both of the authors are very
involved in the Mac community-Greg Neagle is part of the
MacEnterprise steering committee, and Ed is the Executive Editor
and an author for MacTech magazine and a member of the Apple
Consultants Network.What you'll learn* The Managed Preferences
system and how to manage it* All about Directory Services Local
