Mac server 10.6.8 How do you restrict applications not installed on the server?

[Netman-03]

I know its old but we haven't got round (don't want the hassle) to upgrading it yet.

 

I have pretty much no knowledge in this department, only what I have learned by just doing stuff.

 

I want to allow pages, keynote and numbers in a group but it won't let me as its not installed on the server. The applications are installed locally on all macbooks but when a user logs in pages, numbers etc are not on the dock.

 

here is a screenshot of a group that does this http://i.imgur.com/waCT2ij.jpg

 

but I want to do this for another group, can this be done without installing on the server?

 

thanks

Install Workgroup Manager on a computer where yo've installed those application. Open it (WGM), connect to your server, and then apply restriction on those applications for selected group.

WGM only wants the path to the application. My method for this was to create "fake" files on the server using the "touch" command in the Terminal:

 

touch /Applications/Pages.app

 

This can then be used in WGM on the server.

This worked wonderfully! The only problem I'm having now is that adobe software wont work as the student doesn't have permission to use adobe updater, but they have!
