Gold or magical triangle is still used

Hey all,.

First of all, a bit of history. I am the main support of Mac for my organization. We are a large company with Windows 7 and Windows 10 of approximately 35 000 to 40 000 computers. We have a great AD environment and mature, running on the server 2008r2 (AFAIK, could be 2012 also). We have between 300 and 400 computers distributed throughout the company.

I worked with the Mac and have about 10 years of experience in support of end-users and their Mac computers. So I know quite well my way around OS X, Terminal\Bash. When I arrived at my company had 300 Macs with absolutely no management at all. The build process has been broken and certificate chains were all in the wrong places etc. I fixed the build process and got all the necessary software, work on Macs, so the user environment is stable. Now on to my question.

I have setup a test server OS X on a Mac Mini spare parts in our test lab. I chose OS X Server, because even though we have between 300 and 400 Mac we have $0 budget to manage. So things like Casper, Centrify, AirWatch etc. came out. What should I be able to do is, register the macs and have them join AD and install 2 certificates (got it working as a device via a device group profile). So I want to take one of our ads and groups managed to pull the user certificates and lock down macs according to this group, the user is in.

The problem is that, even if the device settings push very well that user settings do not grow. When a domain user logs in they are authed against AD without problem, but OS X server never pushes a profile. I scoured the newspaper and its all simply not to trigger anything even if the device shows as managed and linked to the user in question in OS X Profile Manager.

Looking into what I saw called the golden triangle. East - most used. I was worried that he had gone out of fashion since the introduction of ProfileManager. Can anyone provide guidance on this issue and what might be causing the device managed not to even try and reach out for a user profile on logon?

Thank you

Ed

As far as I KNOW, still work Magic Triangle configurations but profiles are "the future" and provide most of what is necessary for many people.

For a happy life, not to fight with the Profile Manager. A few pieces of it works great the first time; use them. Other things that you think should work; file a bug report and imagine a workaround.

I had a similar sort of problem to yours. My solution has been to use PM to set up a login script. With one of them, you are again in the driving seat. Such a script is running with administrator privileges and you give the environment variables containing the user and group of the person who comes to connect to. keep these simple scripts so that they run quickly. There is a limit of time (a few seconds IIRC) after which they get killed. If you have complicated requirements GET the script to start a treated autolaunch.

    A card having a chance to be accepted it must be registered with the same name and address (including the format and spacing etc) that you have on your iTunes account and have been issued by a bank in the country where you are (and, therefore, the country that sits on your iTunes account). If it is you can check with the card issuer to see if it is them who are in decline. Or do you have another card you could try?

  • Someone at - it still uses aperture? If so, can you use it as well as PHOTOS?

    Someone at - it still uses aperture? If so, can use you them together?

    There is no way to use both apps together that makes no sense.

    You can migrate an Aperture to photo library. Subsequently, both applications have zero awareness of each other. To get another photo of openness to Photos you need to export from Aperture to the Finder, and then import it to the Photos, and vice versa.

    If you consider that photos don't forget that this is not a replacement for opening by an effort of imagination and far less capable. From iPhoto, it has added improvements.

    What do you hope to achieve by using the two together?

  • Can you still use stars to rate songs in the music app?

    Can you still use stars to rate songs in the music app?  That's how my itunes library is organized, and when I get new songs on my phone I would rate it.

    Hi Eric,.

    Yes, you can always classify a song with stars in the app music with iOS 9.2.   When you choose to start a song, the Miniplayer will appear.  Tap the song title to see the player Now Playing view (full-screen).  Tap the title again in this point of view and you will see five points.  Press the point that represents your side.  (Ex. If you type the fourth point, you will see four stars).

    The now playing view will remain open, it will be later songs of rate they play.  Pressing the arrow down in the upper left corner will take you back to the sight of MiniPlayer.

    Here is some additional information on the new music app:

    Or you can tap or slide up on the Miniplayer to see the display of current playback and controls. Press on the in the upper left corner or sliding down to close the now playing screen.
