Hello Everyone. I hope I’m posting in the right forum for this. Please let me know if there is a better place to post. I’m currently running Macintosh Manager on an OSX server and I have two OS 9 client machines…all in a lab environment. I’m trying to figure out how I can deploy desktop icons – specifically .URL files – to the client machines via Mac Manager.
I have been able to distribute other types of files successfully, via the “Items” tab under Workgroups, and those files open up just fine on the client machines. So…I know that this is not a networking issue. And the URL files do make it to the clients (they show up in the Group folder on the desktop), but when I try to open them, I receive the following message:
“The alias “test.url” could not be opened, because the original item cannot be found”.
If I then copy the file to the desktop on the client and try to open it, I receive the same message. I have tried creating the file on the server with several different browsers, including IE, Safari, and Firefox, all to no avail. I have also tried almost everything that I can think of regarding configuration changes in Mac Manager. I have tried changing permissions, changing workgroup types, etc.
If anyone has any info that would help me, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks,
Ryan
