 Google has begun releasing some of their internal tools for managing their Macs. The first project up there allows you to track application useage on client systems using crankd. You can see the code on their Google Code page here. Go to the source tab and then browse to see the code files.

 Apple released their new Lion Server Advanced Administration documentation. Has anyone yet analyzed what's new? I filed an enhancement request asking for them to flag the differences.

 Hey folks, It's been a while since we InstaDMG-ers were at the forefront of people's minds, and it may seem like the whole IT landscape has changed. I wanted to briefly drop you a line with a few tidbits and subtle reminders. For one thing, did you know InstaDMG (and InstaUp2Date) is not just Lion-ready, but can now build images for (and on) Lion Server? New catalogs, downloads and revised docs are imminent, keep checking the instadmg.googlecode.com site and follow the @OSX_adm twitterbot (trendy!) Also, please understand that while InstaDMG was a early star in the modular image creation revolution, which helped turn the spotlight on packages and powerful image-building, it's merely a tool that fits a need. Just because Greg Neagle developed and released a Lion upgrade package (which complements his work on Munki) doesn't mean it could be utilized with InstaDMG. Likewise, many have hoped InstaDMG could address certain needs involving the recovery partition Lion introduces, but please remember, that's just an additional, somewhat static partition. So when looking over tools in your chest, old (like NetRestore, hallowed be its name) and new-ish (like DeployStudio, which can extract and lay down recovery partitions with aplomb), please remember that InstaDMG is still an effective hammer. Your problem may just not be a nail, and that's A-OK. Thanks for listening!

 No doubt you are still recovering from the tidal wave of software updates that Apple let go yesterday. We've cut through the bulk of it to find the things that will interest us sysadmin ties the most! Lion Server 10.7.2 brings quite a few changes, here are some highlights: - When SSL is involved your Lion clients should now be able to bind to OD
- Time Machine now backs up the PostgreSQL database correctly
- Server App now lets you specify the data location for services
- Server App now lets you setup more than on website
- NetRestore now correctly creates the Lion Recovery partition
Profile Manager got a few good updates as well: - You can actually import a list of placeholder devices now from Safari
- All the new management features of iOS 5 are supported
- You can now push and remove in-house applications to iOS devices
Of course you also get all the things that the client update brings as well such as vastly improved AD interoperability. You can check out all the details on Apple.com OS X Lion Server 10.7.2 UpdateDeploying Enterprise Apps for iOSProfile Manager: Deploying Managed Apps

 While in Snow Leopard you may have had to script you way to fame and money to get your Mac to get a certificate from a Microsoft CA, in Lion it's mostly done for you. Take a look at this support document for the gory details on using a profile to get your Mac to request a certificate. Note that you can do all of this by hand, or by script, in XML and then distribute through whatever means you want to your Lion systems.

having is that our custom mappings
require multiple values for certain
attributes, and this no longer seems
possible in the 10.7.x Directory Utility
