Managed Preferences or Parental Controls
I have a OSX 10.4.7-server and lots of OSX 10.4 clients. However, I want to setup 25 MacBooks for mobile users. On the MacBooks is 10.5.
I want to setup the MacBooks with 3 users: root (for special occassions), admin (for installing needs) and a standard user. The standard user has to be controlled by managed prefs.
I don't have 10.5 server.
My own MacBook also runs 10.5 and I use WGM and so on to administer my 10.4.7-server.
Here are my questions:
- is it smart to download the admin tools for 10.5 and then use WGM to manage the prefs locally on the MacBooks ? Can I run more versions of WGM ?
- is it better to use just the parental controls ?
- is there another way to go deeper in the managed prefs of the MacBooks ?
Any tips are welcome !
