Recovering Open Directory Databases
Working with Open Directory can be a great experience…until it isn’t. When your database goes up in flames (or perhaps if), it can be frustrating and maddening. Charles Edge has an article posted on what to do when your OD database decides to spontaneously corrupt itself.

Cursor Tracking Lag Caused by system_profiler
Has anyone else seen this issue? It has only been reproduced on Thunderbolt-equipped Macs while attached to Cinema Displays (Either Mini-DVI or Thunderbolt). If you are able to test this on both Thunderbolt and Non-Thunderbolt Macs as well as Cinema and Third party displays, please leave the results of your testing in the comments. I find that it is easiest to reproduce if you move the cursor in a circular motion and then run the command. This makes it painfully obvious when the jerky-cursor behavior hits. Check out details on this issue over on Kyle’s Blog.

Undocumented Options
After some undocumented options were found in the asr tool, Greg Neagle started digging around some other commands to see if he could find any other hidden options.
The result of this interest has lead to some methods for finding hidden options in any command, although his specific example involves softwareupdate. These methods are useful for poking around commands and looking for hidden functionality that isn’t exposed in the documentation. Check it out over on Greg’s blog.

AFP Services on a Linux Server
Let’s face it, OS X makes a great stable client platform but the server components do not scale well. That is probably why most big companies rely on some other component to have the infrastructure and then us, the Mac admins, spend a lot of time on the integration. For those with Linux servers here is a quick guide on how to serve files using the afp protocol from a Linux box. For this guide I’ll be using the Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) rebuild CentOS.
Last year the guys from the netatalk project released the 3.0 version of their AFP server. This third version came out with support for AppleDouble metadata, removed support for AppleTalk and made the configuration process much easier. Needless to say that this version is still AFP 3.3 compliant, so your OS X clients won’t feel the difference.
Usually you would need to download the source and compile it, but for RHEL-based distros you can use the rpm I created. You...

Casper Focus Review
JAMF Software just recently released Casper Suite 8.7 along with their new education-aimed tool Casper Focus. I had a chance to play around with it and test it out the past two days, so you can decide if this is something worth pursuing for yourselves.
What does it do?
To put it simply, Casper Focus allows a teacher to force specific supervised devices to all lock into a specific app. The teacher can select any app that’s in the Mobile App Catalog (even if it isn’t installed on the teacher’s iPad, or the specific student iPads, or wasn’t deployed via JSS / Self-service). The teacher can enable / disable this lock to a specific app with the push of a button (or two), and it’s a very simple interface.
There’s also the ability to clear the passcodes if the student puts on a passcode lock and forgets it, but that’s probably not the main feature people care about.
What does it...

Getting and Setting Printer Options
Installing printers via lpadmin on OS X can be a pain, especially if you do not know the names of the specific options you need for the printer (Duplex, Finisher, etc). You can dig through the .ppd if you’d like, but this is not as helpful as you might hope.

There are also a few bug fixes in 8.7 for the JAMF Software Server as well as the jamf binary. Be sure to review the list of deprecated features that will be removed or replaced in version 9.0 if you missed them in prior release notes.

Python Versioning in OS X
Apple has included one or more versions of python with OS X since Jaguar (10.2). Their latest version, Mountain Lion (10.8), includes python versions 2.5, 2.6, and 2.7. This presence of python on a clean install of OS X makes it a compelling language choice for automation and information gathering scripts – especially when combined with pyObjC and Scripting Bridge. In fact, various portions of OS X rely on the included python environments to function correctly. Attempts to remove python from OS X or re-link /usr/bin/python to an alternate python installation could result in unexpected effects.
If you plan on using python with OS X, you should also know that different versions of OS X include different selections of python version. Snow Leopard (10.6), for instance, only offers python 2.5 and 2.6. Knowing which version of python you’re running in can have a major effect on how you write your scripts. Certain language features and module functions are not available in earlier...

Real World Example: 500 iPads from Boxes to Students
One of the rising topics of discussion that continually returns to every single Mac Admin conference, gathering, and website is the deployment of iPads. iPads have become ubiquitous, for users, schools, and businesses now, and suddenly lots of system admins, technology coordinators, directors, and supervisors are being tasked with adopting iPads into their businesses, and many of them are scrambling to figure out the best strategies for mass dissemination of Apple’s latest flagship product. The nitty-gritty details and best practices of deploying iPads has been discussed often, and we won’t see many changes to it until the release of iOS 7, when we all scramble to determine what changes Apple made. Rather than write yet another post on iPad deployment strategies, I thought I’d give another 500 foot overview of the actual process of getting large numbers of devices into the hands of users.
