Right now, I think I have come up with a solution that I am testing, but thus far it seems to work.

Rather than hand-rolling a package for FCS and Logic Studio for my multimedia machines using InstallEase/Composer/PackageMaker, I have created disk images of the install disks and thrown them in the BaseOS folder. I’ve added a routine that installs from the disk images on to my InstaDMG disk image.

Because the licensing might vary between single & volume depending on where they are deployed (lab or single computer), I am going to hand-roll a package for each licensing situation, that can be applied as needed either post-imaging for a single license or as part of the workflow for a lab.

I’ve been successful in installing the software and getting a non-booted disk image. It just takes forever, definitely an overnight proposition.

I am testing the licensing packages and can keep the forum posted if anyone is interested in the results.

We’ve done it in a test environment and are about to do it for production within the next 60 days.

It all looks good, actually. Though the LDAP integration isn’t quite as tight as you’d expect.

I’ll post our documentation and let you know the results.

Though, I may not be reachable via email. 😉

[QUOTE][u]Quote by: MacTroll[/u][p]1) while ldapsearch and LDIFs are a very valid way to do this, and probably the way you’ll end up going, it would be also possible to do this with dscl. As that will allow you to get and set cn=people using all Apple-developed tools.

Cool.

Can you give hints as to how you might do it? You don’t have to write the complete code, but if you could just point me in the right direction it would be excellent.

Can dscl delete copy every entry in a container to another with only selected attributes? How can dscl delete every entry in a container?
