How to install and un-install software in a Mac Networked Environment

I have lots of experience in deploying software via a GPO, or Altiris, in a Windows environment. BUT How do I do the same type of thing in a Mac Environment? I would like an easy way to deploy software across many 100's of Macs. I am open to a 3rd party solution. Maybe also a way to create a package for deployment that does not take a PHD in Unix to do so.
I'm looking for easy and affordable.
we run Server 10.3.9, clients are 10.3.9 and 10.4.X

Take a look at Apple Remote Desktop.
it will let you use most any packaged installers.
also if you install the Dev tools there is a package builder so you can make your own installers.
If you are going to deploy any Adobe Pro installs take a look at this.

    Why not just download XCode Developer tools from the Mac App Store? It's free and contains many other useful programming utilities and IDEs to work with.

    how to install software from imac to macbook pro

    Are you using one of the newer iMac's with no DVD drive? If so, you can either get an external CD/DVD drive (any make - doesn't have to be Apple) or, if you have another Mac on the same network that has a CD/DVD drive you may be able to do it by turning on 'DVD or CD Sharing' on that Mac (System Preferences>Sharing). Hopefully you'll see the disk on the Mac without the DVD drive and be able to install from there.

  • How to install windows on a mac

    hi,
    I was wondering if anyone has an easy guide on how to install windows on a mac. I purchased a external hard drive to make it easier but still absolutely no clue on how to do this. At college some software isn't compatible with mac so i need to install windows aswel. Any help would be great as not very good with this at all and bootcam

    An external drive is not necessary. There are several options.
    One is Parallels
    Second is VMware
    Third. Partition the hard drive using Boot Camp
    Boot Camp Assistant is pre installed on your Mac in your Applications > Utilities folder.
    If you use Boot Camp, you will need to purchase a Windows install disc.

    I am a new Mac user and have just encountered a third part software that does not appear to be supported through Safari; thus I am receiving the following message when I attemt to log onto the system:

    Bypassing this message only yields a Server Runtime error.
    Why don't you just download Firefox, 4 through 7 are supported, or if you insist on using Internet Explorer, use Windows.

  • How to install hard drive into mac pro

    how to install hard drive into mac pro

    I recently bought a new 2TB internal sata drive for my Macpro.
    The installation was easy, but I'm not sure what to do next.
    For one, should I partition the drive?
    My purpose for buying the drive was to use it as my go to drive for Parallels. I used to run my music studio on Windows based machines, and my older project files require a windows OS to recover. I installed Parallels so I can have my studio running Mac and Windows programs which will enable me to access my old project files and take them into my newer Protools system.
    So now, I've installed my new hard drive, but I'm not sure if I should partition it....And!? I'm not sure how to designate that drive for my virtual pc on Parallels. I was able to allocate enough disk space to parallels in order to load my music software, but at this point, I'm not sure if I've just promised it disk space from my original partitioned drive (which only has about 350 GB left on it).
    I would love to be able to make one internal drive available for Parallels, and the other available for the rest of my OSX. When I use Parallels, I still would like to save some extra information on the 2TB drive as well from my dekstop running OSX.
    I hope this makes sense! Your help is much appreciated!

    I thought that installation through Boot Camp required, without hacks, a physical optical disc to install Boot Camp? I don't use it any longer since I run XP under Parallels, but I would swear that you have to use a disc, and not a USB thumb drive, to install Windows?
    Maybe some real Boot Campers will visit this thread...

    If you have the Media you can use it to create a bootable USB key via boot camp assistant.
    It will create the usb and has the option of pre-downlading the drivers and bootcamp utilities for windows.
    It is pretty much all automated and quite simple.

    How do I install software for a Sony DCR-SR68 video camera on my 2009 MacBook Pro? The manual that came with the camera says the software cannot be installed on "a Mackintosh", that I should contact Apple.

    I think that's pretty clear, don't you? (And, if it does say "Mackintosh", I'll eat my bowler hat.)
    You can't use the supplied software with Mac OS X. Either install Windows on your Mac, if you wish to use this software, or find out (eg, by googling) what other Mac users do with this camera.
