Can't you do something like: If IntPtr.Size = 8 Then 'Link for 64 bit ElseIf IntPtr.Size = 4 Then 'Link for 32 bit End If

My workaround (not the most ideal) but considering the music teacher wanted a solution where it 'just works'. ADMonPas worked great modified the code so when a user logs on it checks if they have a keychain issue. If so then delete the keychain and then prompt to restart the mac. Seems to be running fine for us. ADPassMon.app.zip (please note this is my modified version)

Have you had a look at: https://help.apple.com/profilemanager/mac/3.1/#apdB8464D5D-F4C9-4848-9AD7-4B188ED6E130

Is this a new issue or have you had it working before? 1) Confirm the times on the devices and server are correct and synchronising correctly. 2) Are you sure the required ports are open on the router? 3) Stop and start the Profile Manager and Websites in Servers Let me know how you get on with the above.

What MDM are you using? If you configure the com.apple.sidebarlists.plist as you want it for a user. Then save the plist somewhere and use the MDM to push the plist that should help customise the sidebar for all users.

Are you still having issues with this? Because I've found ADPasMon works extremely well (better than Keychain Minder IMO). It also give you access to the code so you can modify it. I've modified it (to suit our needs) so it automatically deletes the keychain (if it's locked) and warns the user that the Mac will reboot when logging in.

I've not looked into the Android Wear stuff, but I might buy it just to tinker around with it further. I'd quite like to learn Python to see if I can stretch it even further.

I've only just found this tool (Tasker) and already started a couple of projects (see below). I have my phone rooted but this app doesn't require a rooted phone. Does anyone else use it or tinkered with it? What projects or setups have you done? So far I've done: - Work and Home profiles - Intruder alert after failed login attempts (takes a picture then emails the GPS location and picture to my email) - Auto respond to "Hi, how are you?" texts (I have a friend which all he does is send me those texts - cheeky i know). - GPS on/off while opening apps (google maps and runtastic). - Battery saver mode (set CPU to a very low speed, switch off devices etc.) - Screen lock time depending on apps open (i.e. currently locks after 10 or 15 seconds. With certain apps this varies). Things I'm planning on doing: - Send a text (with certain content) and receive the GPS location and play music gradually getting loader (if phone is lost) - using partner's phone.

https://jamfnation.jamfsoftware.com/discussion.html?id=7562 there's a setting in there to hide prompts and you can use keychain minder to help make the process easier. I don't think there's an easy way to delete the keychain during login or logoff.

If you have the "Force local home directory on startup disk" unticked it then saves their profile (keychain) on their homedrive\Libraries.

Are you using roaming profiles? System Preferences - Users and Groups - Login Options - Then go into Active Directory as if you are going to bind it to AD. Under show advanced options untick "Force local home directory on startup disk". This will allow the profiles to move with them.

Hi all, Just a quick question on how you would deploy the paid in-app section of GarageBand to OSX devices. I'm thinking of creating a new build with it installed, then reimaging the Macs. Is it an in-app purchase per device and do you need a user-id per device to run on the Macs OSX? What are your thoughts? Thanks,

If you are thinking of using a mac server and plan to use profile manager (for the preferences of the machines) then here are a few things to think about: - Mac server - Profile Manager (Similar to GPO for Windows), Workgroup Manager and is becoming out dated. - Deploy Studio (to deploy a base image of the Mac) - Apple Remote Desktop (to push application installs) - Firewall settings configured to allow required ports for Apple - NTLM does not work on Macs so you can use ident for the authentication to Internet. Or use no authentication on the Macs. - Time on the Macs are same as the domain server A basic list of things to think about. When you join the Mac to AD you can specify to use the user's home drive on your Windows file server. The magic triangle uses the authentication from AD to connect to Windows Shares, then the Mac Server is used just for the management of the profiles, locking down the Macs as required.

I managed to get it to work by removing all the apps listed. Then adding /Applications, /Library and /System in the allow list. Then added the apps in black list.

If you write free instructions with videos but make a package to help them (i.e. a kit) but it'll need to look and work fantastically. Then some might be interested. But the instructions are already freely available as GREED and dezt said.

Just to add I've now tried to add all the apps in the allow apps list and the following in the allow folders: /var/folders /users/macuser/library /library/application support /applications/sibelius 7.app /System/Library /Library /.vol /System/Installation /AppleInternal If anyone can give any more insight on this, that'll be great. THanks

Hey all, Sorry another Mac question, Sibelius was allowed to run while using Workgroup Manager. However, in Profile Manager (Mavericks) I can't seem to get the app to run for students. It keeps coming up saying "You don't have permission to use the application "Sibelius"". I've added it in the allowed apps list, also added /Applications and /Applications/Sibelius 7.app to the folder allow list. But the folder allow list doesn't seem to be getting picked up?! Any advice? Thanks,

I agree, we had issues with DNS and ISP's firewall and the image was using Mavericks using profile manager (moving from workgroup manager) and didn't have a copy of the image to deploy at the time. The disk to disk was done the day before everyone was back into school as a last minute. With DNS/firewall now working, I've set the image out to deploy properly. I figured it was the disk to disk so just reimaging them seems to be working.

Hey all, Trying to enroll the macs to the profile manager, but after the first enrollment when I try to add another mac it comes up saying it's already enrolled showing the same serial as the first mac enrolled. Any ideas? This seems to have happened after doing a disk to disk image. The serial number on the Macs themselves are fine. The profile manager doesn't seem to want to pick up the serial numbers. Thanks, P

Have you found a solution for this? Thanks

Any updates/installs running in the background of the PCs? If not just try running the install/update on one machine and monitor it, it might rely on another update/package to be installed.

Also ensure you have the latest version of windows installer 3.3 or later I think - this was one issue I had when I started with SCCM.

If you can make a copy of the database and upgrade that. That's my suggestion, not tried it myself but definitely worth backing up the database first.
