 Haikus are so 2007, so this year our first contest for tickets to our WWDC 2008 bash will be... Best joke involving directory services. Write up an original joke that involves directory services in some way. Then e-mail your entry to wwdc2008@afp548.com by Friday May 16th. The top 5 jokes, as picked by the admin staff here, will get 2 tickets to the party. And you can blame Nigel for picking this contest.

 Over the years a lot of people have been confused when setting up a Multicast-ASR (mASR) server. So far there have been two tools out there to help with this: Proton Pack Server and Mac HelpMate. Mac HelpMate is easy to find, but it always seems that people have had trouble tracking down Proton Pack. To that end we are now hosting the Proton Pack Server application on AFP548.com. Take a look in our downloads section or click here to get started. (Download is 2.46 MB)

 The MacEnterprise.org group will be presenting a Webcast on InstaDMG: Image Creation Revolution on April 15, 2008 at 1:00pm EDT (10:00am PDT). InstaDMG is revolutionizing the way that Mac sysadmins create ASR deployment images and it can help you too. More than just a tool, InstaDMG is actually a methodology for deployment image creation and testing. In this webcast we will cover both the methodology and the reference tool in detail, including a roadmap of the reference script feature set. For more information on how to view the webcasts, please visit: http://macenterprise.org/content/blogcategory/113/96/ The login ID for April 15th Webcast : MacEnterprise Passcode for April 15th Webcast is : 724412 Go to the following web page 5-10 minutes prior to the webcast start time: http://webcast.training.apple.com/ Webcast Coordinator Macenterprise.org

 As part of some self-documentation, I posted on my personal blog exactly what works and where I found the help for getting an OpenDirectory 10.5 Server running from a 10.4 in production box. The twist is that I needed to keep my SID and other PDC functionality that I've inherited up from 10.3.9. Yes, it can be done, and no you can't upgrade. Below is the reprint from my blog which I'm posting here for posterity:

 I've been quiet for a bit on InstaDMG so I thought I would give an update. Yes, there is a new version of the reference script coming soon. Work has been crazy lately, and not left me in the office much to work on my dev systems. I'll be posting an actual roadmap of the functions to be added to the code soon. I haven't posted it yet only because I got a fantastic code submission from reader Gordon Davisson. He submitted enough new code that I will be able to jump ahead on several of the milestones after I vet and integrate his changes. The InstaDMG forums are still hopping with great tips and tricks for getting your build train going. If you haven't poked around in there you should really take a look. To help with file tracking I've created an InstaDMG category in our downloads section. In the category I have a section for the reference script and one for user submitted packages. Our first upload is a comprehensive take on Instauser, submitted by reader Pete Akins. Feel free to grab it and see if you like it. Overall we have been thrilled with the response to InstaDMG. Keep sending your feedback and we will keep pushing forward!

Good place to make contacts with people doing your kind of work at other institutions as well.

Wednesday, May 14 2008 @ 03:07 pm CDTRoger that. You're calling
/usr/sbin/installer (and others) from
the boot drive when running InstaDMG.
Apple probably doesn't QA their OS
installation packages to be installed by
anything but the same version of the OS
