How do I install system to clients?

OK, I have the manual, but lots of questions. Here's the scoop - I manage a classroom with 25 Macs and have OS X Server 10.4.11 running on an iMac. Mainly we use the iMac as a file storage device. But now I would like to "broadcast" (for lack of a better word) the system software to each workstation so they can all be running the same version and I can keep them up to date. I do not want to have them all startup from the server, but rather use the server to install the system on each computer. Help! I have a small budget for tech support, but as usual with a school it is VERY small. Where can I turn for answers or help? (Our school IT department is mostly Windows and Linux and I have tried them already. No other school is using OS X 10.4.)
Thanks in advance....

The only push option that comes to mind is Apple Remote Desktop.
With ARD you can manage multiple systems, including scheduled installs of software updates, run scripts, and even monitor what the systems are doing (may be useful depending on the age of your students).
For 25 clients you'll need the Unlimited version. It's $499 retail, but I don't know what education discounts apply.
The only other option that might work is setting up a Software Update Server. That option is free, but it'll only apply Apple-provided updates, not third-party apps. The difference here is that you can't push updates out to the clients - the clients have to check for updates and apply them individually (often requiring admin password to do so). I'm guessing that's not in the plan.

How come my installed system font is not working???

I installed a systemfont. It is working in al the other Adobe programs except in Adobe Muse. What van I do?

I too have had this problem with a customer and reported it today, see the link to the forum below or copy of the post from the forum below. Basically they seem to be back peddling a little on one of the main selling features that they advertise to designers, not the the best response really, it is apparently a bug?

Problem with fonts in Muse on a PC?
May 16, 2012 4:08 AM
I have created a site in Muse and everything is fine when the file is opened on my mac where it was created. My customer has brought a muse subscription as they wanted to maintain it in house, but they are on a PC. Muse was installed on the PC fine.
I have now given them the Muse file and it opens up ok in the PC Muse version apart from copy in Myriad Pro Bold (I assume as it's not a standard system font, it uses a substitute). The body copy displays ok as it's just Myriad Pro and that seems to be a system font.
So, they have purchased Myriad Pro Bold font and installed the font to their fonts library on the PC (WINDOWS 7), but Muse will still not recognise it when the Muse file opens and it also doesn't appear in the systems fonts list in Muse? Does anyone know how to import a font into Muse on a PC so that they can view the site without it using a substitute font for Myriad Pro Bold?

Does the new font appear in any other program on their computer? The font should appear as "Myriad Pro". Then they would need to select the bold option on Muse's toolbar. Beware that Myriad will be rendered as an image, not live text. This will hurt the web site in search results. Consider using either a Typekit font or one of the 'web safe' fonts for maximum visibility of your client's site. There's no point in making a great site if nobody can find it.

Yes, it appears in Word, which is why we couldn't figure out why it wouldn't at least appear in the system fonts section in muse? This bold version of the font is mainly used for navigation to control the look, so we chose that to use as a graphic, so I understand your point regarding searches, maybe the body copy can be altered to a more web friendly font, but this displays fine and appears in the menu as Myriad Pro, but it doesn't help us with the navigation display that we'd like to keep in bold and control the look of. Even with the font loaded in the library it dosen't appear as a sub weight of Myriad bold, so do you think we done something wrong to get Muse to recognise it is there, sorry I still don't understand why Muse hasnt added it to the system fonts library?

As the font appears correctly in Word, this topic becomes less of a 'general question about using Muse' and more of a bug report. http://forums.adobe.com/community/muse/adobe_muse_bugs

Ok thanks, as I really need to address this issue for my customer, as I recommended that they buy a subscription to Muse to edit their website content in-house and one of the main selling features of Muse for them is that you can use any font and embed it into the website and it obviously isn't quite working on Muse for PC and for which they are now paying monthly. So can I report it somewhere asap, is there an area where you do this or do you log it as a bug now?

How to programatically find whether excel is installed in a client system.

Hi all,
I am developing a web application and need to send the output as excel so that end user sees it in excel format..
how could i find whether the client system is having Excel installed..

how could i find whether the client system is having Excel installed..
Some queries :
1) For pdf file don't you give link to download acrobat reader ?Since it is required to view pdf.
2) Checking user registry may not be a good option for web application.
Since you are sending excel file, user will either open it or will be asked to save it.

How to install Oracle Database Client 32-bit libraries.

Dear All,
In the document : http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10415_01/doc/bi.1013/b31765.pdf
it is written "For 64-bit Linux system installations, you must use the Oracle Database Client 32-bit libraries"
how can i install just the libraries from OUI Database 11.2
Is it must to install these libraries first, whatif I install Oracle11.2 64bit client, and then install the OBIEE. Anyhow i need to install OracleDBClient to connect to Oracle server 11.2.

You can't "just install the libraries", you need a full ORacle client installation. The Oracle client can be installed after OBIEE but you must have an Oracle client to connect to an Oracle database via OCI (which is the recomended approach). 64bit client should be fine as long as it has the 32bits libraries. The 10g client does, not sure about the 11g client. Make sure you install the FULL Oracle client, not the Instant Client. The 32bits client libraries are located under lib32, the lib directory is for the 64bits ones. You might need ot re-link them if they were linked correctly during the client installation. But for more information post a message in the Oracle client forum, this is the OBIEE forum.

Than you for time.

If your system does not meet the minimum system requirements you have to go back to a version that does. Try the direct download links you'll find here.. CS5 comes bundled with CS4 for AE which is the last version to run on a 32 bit system.

How do I install base system on external drive to boot MacBook Pro?

I have a MacBook Pro 2.2 core 2 duo. I use an external HD for storage. Want to make external drive bootable (i.e. to run apps like DiskWarrior on MacBookPro).
How do I install the base system?
Thank you.

First, be sure the external drive is partitioned using the GUID partition scheme. If it isn't then you will have to re-partition the drive which will erase anything you have on the drive.
Second, the external drive must be formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled.)
Last, boot from the OS X Installer Disc One that came with the computer and install OS X onto the external drive. Do not do an Erase and Install if you don't want to erase the external drive. You can customize the installation to omit any additional components you don't need such as language localizations, Asian Fonts, unneeded printer drivers, etc.

How do I install (just the required assembles without server licence) client library to a client machine so that I can invoke SSIS/SSAS 2012 remotely?

We are trying to figure the easiest way to install client lib on a machine to call SSIS/SSAS remotely (to a SQL Server 2012).
We have some .net code referencing SMO/AMO and Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.IntegrationServices.
1) For SMO, I found out this and it is quite clear about how to install on a client machine:
Installing SMO (SQL Server Management Objects (SMO))
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms162189(v=sql.110).aspx
2) For AMO (analysis management object), I found out this but I did not see a clear instruciton of what and how to install on the client machine:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms124924(v=sql.110).aspx
3) For SSIS call, I did not find anything talking about the client installation.
Can someone help us?
Thanks.

Hi Sofiya,
Thank you so much for your help.
For SSIS call, we are using
Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.IntegrationServices.dll
to call package deployed to SSISDB catalog at remote server using some .net codes.
I have few questions:
1) What is the difference between
Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.IntegrationServices.dll
and the dll you mentioned:
Microsoft.SqlServer.IntegrationServices.Server.dll
2) If we install SSMS, can we also get Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.IntegrationServices.dll? Put another way, if we install SSMS, will Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.IntegrationServices.dll be registeredin GAC?
3) If we install Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.IntegrationServices.dll at client machine, I assume we don't need to licence it. (Note: SSIS package itself will be running from the remote server, NOT the client machine which is used to invoke
the SQL 2012 packages).
Best regards,
Steven Rao
Hi Steven Rao,
Yes, you are right. When you want to start a SSIS 2012 package from a .Net application,
you need to reference the assembly of Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.IntegrationServices .dll. The Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.IntegrationServices namespace contains the classes and interfaces to manage the Integration Services catalog
on an instance of SQL Server. It is only available in the GAC. For more information, see:
http://microsoft-ssis.blogspot.com/2013/01/call-ssis-2012-package-within-net.html
I also do a test, if you install the media of SQL Server Management Studio, usually, these assemblies are located in following folder as screenshot.
In the folder, C:\Windows\assembly

How to install system 9.1 on second drive of a G4 while running OS 10.5.8 on primary drive

I am Using a G4 OS 10.5.8, trying to install system 9.1 on an erased/reformated disk with system 9 drivers option selected. Can't boot with a 9.1 install disk by holding C key on startup. When booted with sys 10.5.8 attempting to install sys 9 on the reformatted drive yields error "classic functions are no longer supported" no luck just copying the software from the install disk, even though the drive shows up as an available startup drive, it never gets a spinning wheel during startup attempts.
Thinking about reinstalling the original powermac G4 software (there are other partitions or drives available) but trying the path of least resistance first.
Totally open to suggestions

Since you are running OS X 10.5 (Leopard) on that machine, unless you used one of the unsupported install methods your G4 has a processor that is 867MHz or faster (that's one of the requirements for Leopard).
Assuming that is the case, you will never be able to boot the machine to OS 9.1, or to any retail OS 9 Install CD.
The first G4 which met the 867MHz requirement was the QuickSilver '02 model (only the mid and upper speed units); all G4 MDD models meet that requirement.
All of the preceding which are OS 9 bootable (the G4 MDD FW800 model is not OS 9 bootable) can use only the model-specific version of OS 9.2.2 which shipped with them as a bootable OS 9.
The QS '02 models used a stand-alone OS 9.2.2 Install CD, labelled Software Install. Installation of OS 9.2.2 using that is straight-forward - boot the machine to the Software Install CD, and install OS 9.2.2 on the second drive.
The MDD models are a bit different. They came with a combination installer disk, one which booted to OS X but which was capable of also installing OS 9.2.2 (Classic, I think it is referred to in the installer's jargon).
Unfortunately, the installer on those disks seems to have a restriction - it will install OS 9 (Classic) only onto a volume which already has OS X installed on it. So, how to get OS 9-only on the second drive? Two ways -
A) Install OS 9 (Classic) onto the main drive, then copy it via drag-and-drop onto the second volume. Once placed there and tested for booting, remove the install of it placed on the original drive. Be sure to copy the folders named System Folder, Applications (Mac OS 9), and Documents; if there is a free-standing folder named Utilities, copy that too (it often is placed into the Applications (Mac OS 9) folder).
Possible issues -
* since the OS X on the original drive is Leopard, a substantly newer version that that on the OEM disk set, the installer on that disk set may balk at doing this.
• aliases will be broken by copying the system and support files to the second drive. This can include an alias to Sherlock in the Apple Menu Items folder in System Folder and perhaps one or more in the Application Support folder in System Folder. Alises can be repaired - do a Get Info on an alias, and the Get Info window will display a button which can be used to reconnect the alias to the appropriate original.
B) Install OS X (the version on the original install CD set) onto the second drive. Then install OS 9 (Classic) onto that drive. Once it has been tested for booting, throw away the OS X system and files from that drive.
Possible issue - deleting OS X can leave behind some invisible files. Unless you are very short on disk space, these should present no problem and can be ignored - OS 9 will not (can not) attempt to use them.
