<p>Many systems administrators on the Mac need a way to manage machine configuration after initial setup and deployment. Apple’s Managed Preferences system (also known as MCX) is under-documented, often misunderstood, and sometimes outright unknown by systems administrators. MCX is usually deployed in conjunction with an OS X server, but it can also be used in Windows environments or where no dedicated server exists at all.</p>
<p><b>Enterprise Mac Managed Preferences</b> is the definitive guide to Apple’s Managed Client technology. With this book, you’ll get the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>An example-driven guide to Mac OS X Managed Preferences/Client technology</li>
<li>Recipes for common use case studies and patterns</li>
<li>A targeted approach appropriate for any sys admin that manages Macs in an OS X or Windows environment</li>
</ul>
<p>This is the only book that focuses on this facet of OS X exclusively. If you’re a sys admin, this book will take away much of the pain of working with OS X client systems. Even better, both of the authors are very involved in the Mac community—<b>Greg Neagle</b> is part of the MacEnterprise steering committee, and <b>Ed Marczak</b>is the executive editor and an author for <b>MacTech</b> magazine and a member of the Apple Consultants Network.</p>
