Anybody have tips for enterprise integration of apple computers?

I am starting to look at integration of OSX into out enterprise. I'm researching imaging, patching, monitoring, virus. All of the normal stuff. OSX server seems to have most of the features we need. There dosen't seem to be much positive about it in the reviews though. We plan to rely on AD for auth. Symantec seems to have an offering that might handle imaging and patching which may or may not be better than OSX server?
Lots of research to do: What tools are you using?
Thanks in advance.

Resources: Mac Enterprise mailing list and particularly the mailing list archives and web site.   Various Apple Mailing Lists and their respective archives.   Apple Training (includes courses and documentation downloads).  AFP548.  Various Apple whitepapers including AD Integration (for 10.8) and large-scale client deployments.   The usual search terms include best practices and related "enterprisey" terms, and MDM and imaging, Reposado and Profile Manager.   Probably best to directly contact the Apple Business Folks at the local Apple Store, too.

    Do I need a different Apple ID for each of my Apple computers?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    If all of those Macs are for your use, you have to use the same Apple ID on all of them, so you will be able to use all the applications and songs purchased with your Apple ID on them, apart from your iCloud information, in case you have an iCloud account

  • License requirements for enterprise integration

    I am trying to understand how CRM licensing affects the ability to integrate data across enterprise systems. 
    I have read the "PremiseLicensingGuide" document, which states:
    "A Microsoft Dynamics CRM User is defined as any user who accesses the Microsoft Dynamics CRM server, files, data content or “Microsoft Dynamics CRM functionality”. “Microsoft Dynamics CRM functionality”
    is any service or feature of Microsoft Dynamics CRM that allows a user to view, manipulate, input, query, or otherwise structure “live data”. “Live data” is information that, via user action, dynamically writes to or reads from (or synchronizes with) Microsoft
    Dynamics CRM 2013 On-Premises Volume Licensing Guide | September 2013 Page 6 Microsoft Dynamics CRM, whether it is accessed directly or indirectly. Microsoft Dynamics CRM Users are required to have
    the appropriate client accesses licenses, regardless of their direct or indirect connection to the product."
    And further:
    "Multiplexing is the use of hardware or software (including manual procedures) to reduce the number of devices or individuals that access or use the Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013 solution functionality by
    pooling connections. Multiplexing does not reduce the number of licenses required to access the Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013 solution functionality. Any internal user who accesses the Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013 solution functionality —whether directly or indirectly—must
    be properly licensed"
    So what does that mean in a case where CRM is an integration target for data which also resides in other systems? Say, for example, we have a situation where some of the information in the ERP system which relates to customers also needs to exist in the CRM
    system, and the data is authored in the ERP. In such a case one would set up some form of enterprise integration (eg, an SSIS job or biztalk process) to move data through the systems. But would this require that every ERP user who can update customer information
    in the ERP must also be licensed in Dynamics CRM?

  • Anybody have experience of service after guarantee/Apple care expired.

    I am plaining to get a MacBook Pro, but what afraid me is that if the Apple care/guarantee has expired, as I have an experience with my iPhone of being refereed to a third party service center. That was not a good experience one, as they didn't do a proper job to my iPhone.

    Yes! i have had my screen replaced 3 times,just before the warranty ran out,and i knew that it would happen again, (even has i am typing this out its happening again) I was given no choice but to buy this Apple Care Plan. My question is what happens after 3yrs. In my country England you just keep on paying the insurance every year. If you do not have any insurance, Say, on a washing machine you call the guys out to fix it, they tell you the price before they begin. You are better off buying a new washer, because of the price they charge. I know for definate after 3yrs thats it,and say if you had to get your screen replaced it would cost you £400 plus carriage,and that comes to about £500. You might as well buy a new computer. Unless anybody can come up with a better answer to this i would love to know.

  • Found Free Resource (Tip) for Prototyping Apps in Apple Keynote

    Hi everyone! I would like to let the community know about a free resource for prototyping iPhone, iPad, and OS X apps in Apple Keynote.
    It's available for download here: http://keynotopia.com/keynote-mockups-templates/
    The best part is that you don't have to be a designer to create your own apps
    The Apple Keynote tool is an awesome tool and these templates are a real time saver.
    Happy app prototyping!
    -Caroline

    Good templates for quick mockups. Thanks for the tip!

  • I only have audio for the videos on apple's website using Safari?

    I can only hear the audio on apple's website to their videos.  I have the newest quicktime update and I'm not sure why it won't play.  Any thoughts or suggestions?

    Try another browser.  If that works, then you'll know for sure it's a Safari issue. 

  • Does anyone have tips for using iphone with Microsoft Outlook ?

    The functionality of the Iphone operating system with MS Outlook is very poor compared to a Blackberry.  Does anyone know how to:
    - Sort by name (the Iphone only sorts by subject, or "threads") ?
    - Sort Sent mail (the Iphone only sorts e-mails in the inbox) ?
    - Combine e-mails in the Inbox and Sent folders into one sort ... instead of sorting each mailbox separately, be able to combine them and then sort "?
    - Forward a meeting notice ?
    - Reply to all the invitees on a meeting notice ?

    iPhone =/= iPod. You could go Ford or the site for MS sync and probably find which devices are officially supported.
    Edit - So I just went too the site. It seems the compatibility varies between different configurations and between different models. I just looked at one, and the Ford Escape Hybrid with GPS system and all the stuff supports the iPhone 2.0. Mobiles are listed by carrier, so some may and some may not. So you would have to select what model Fusion you are considering and what options it may have.

    or driver for similar HP equipments

    Hello --
    Although we do not have a driver for the HP 8756A, you can submit a request for an instrument driver through our request database at http://zone.ni.com/idnet97.nsf/instrumentdriverrequest/. Your request may be considered for development. We try to develop instrument drivers according to popularity. Unfortunately, we cannot develop instrument drivers for all the requests we receive.

  • Enterprise integration pattenrs.

    Hello.
    Does Glassfish/ESB has an implementation for Enterprise integration patterns that does things like mediations and routing?
    Apache has ActiveMQ + Camel + eclipse plugin for that kind of things.
    Can I do the same with Netbeans/openesb/ ?

    Can you please tell me what is the problem and why?The problem has to do with class loading: if one component packages Kodo
    in it's libraries, and wants to reference another component that also
    packages Kodo, then you will almost undoubtable run unto class

    Are you not using an application server that is covered in the J2EE

    Hi Alston
    Since you have CR for Enterprise then you also have BI and thus most likely you also have an S user ID. You can use the S user ID to create a phone incident at it is part of your Enterprise Support Package. Just saying as this may be the most efficient way of proceeding at this time(?). But please don't take as me trying to push you off of SCN .

  • Crystal Reports for Enterprise 4.1: Error while saving report to BI platform "There was an unexpected error saving your report to the server. Please try again or contact your administrator if the problem persists."

    Hi All,
    I am able to create a report in Crystal Reports for Enterprise 4.1 on top of an OLAP connection (data source BEx query). However, when I am trying to save this report to BI platform, I am running into the following error:
    The error was not resolved even after applying the following SAP KBA notes:
    1676033
    1709390
    1922003

    Below is the excerpt in the error log (on the path mentioned in SAP NOTE: 1709390),
    However, could not make much sense out of it, as to how can the issue be resolved. If anyone has useful insights on this issue, please share the same with me.

  • Export for Enterprise Deployment

    I haven't seen anyone talk about this yet, but is there a way to package a Flash app for iPad/iPhone for enterprise deployment? Apple does this with their XCode development tool. It's always the common sense stuff that Adobe leaves out and never has any information on.
    Thanks.
    Nathan

    Have you found out the solution yet?  I am faced with the same issue and need to deploy to a client ASAP.  I need to know what the publishing setting would be: Debug, Ad-Hoc, or App store. I thing that the App store one should be used. I will be giving my client both a debug and an App store version. We will see what happens.

  • Did iPhone have API for video recording?

    Did iPhone have API to write an application for video recording?. I have read all the document about audio&video that release along with SDK beta5 but can't find anything about video recording, all they said is...
    Audio
    Support for recording, processing, and playing audio files and streams.
    Video
    Support for full-screen display of video files.
    if currently iPhone don't have API for video recording, Did apple will develop it in future release of SDK?
    thank you.

    Here is a link the the apple developer site that might help out.

    ipad2 plus ipad air all of a sudden instantly goes back to home screen.doesnt matter what app i am using just when it decides to do it it does.apple tech has no answer or fix for me does anybody have any idea what is wrong

    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    Could also be not enough free space for the iPad to operate efficiently. With iOS 7 it is recommended that you have 15-20% of the storage space on the device free.  For a 16 GB device that is 2.4-3.2 GB free. For a 32 GB device that is 4.8-6.4 GB free. For a 64 GB device that is 9.6-12.8 GB free.
    If neither of these suggestions helps, Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.
