2003 / :S And yet another question.....

« on: July 02, 2003, 01:03:22 PM »

First..before I got straight into asking away again, I must take a minute and thank all of you for always being so patient (im a mac newbie), and kind with me.     So here goes yet another one of my questions.  How, as an administrator, can i lock a users desktop image so that they cannot change it.  Example:  I want all stations to look the same, so i want all the desktops to be displaying the librarys logo on them.


Thanks again!!!

Hi everyone, and thanks for all your input.  I just fixed this problem.  I tried booting in "safe mode" and was able to burn from there, so i realized it was an extensions error.  I thine did an archive and install and PRESTO!!!  It worked!

2003 / single boot?

« on: June 06, 2003, 01:24:36 PM »

Another question for you guys.  While I mainly work in os9.2 After a crash the other day, when i boot again i get the flashing question mark on the disk and then a happy mac, and thats it.  My recovery cd wont boot, but i can still press "x" when restarting and it boots in osx just fine.  From osx, i can launch the "classic", but cannot get it to boot from it.  I've tried to see if it knows which system disk to use, but cant tell(theres is a folder with a "9" picture on it when browsing the drive".  When i boot from the startup disk, it wont let me set the syste, disk, it just wants to reinstall osx. (which i have done) Please help, I dont know what else to do.


Thanks in advance,
Dezz

Hi everyone,  I am a new mac user, (and loving it) and currently an administrator at a small school.  Our network consists of a whole bunch of PCs, and we have just recently purchased and added 8 macs.  My problem is that i dont know how to control what people are and are not aloud to do on the mac, as I can with the PC.  How do i set it up so that the person has to log in, and cannot change system settings, or see them and cannot (this happens all the time and this is the root of my problem) keep reinstalling ths OS whenever they want without contacting me.  Please help me learn how to do this, for if I cant figure this out, I will not be able to purchase anymore macs.

Thanks in advance,
Dez
