What happened to forcing Computer Name of managed clients?

In the 10.4 Version of WGM you can edit a computer inside a computer group and get "Use this name as the Computer Name for managed clients". This has since disappeared as far as I can see in the Leopard version of WGM. So far I've been lucky with just using the older version after I add the computer in but it's a pain to use two instances of WGM to add stuff. In inspector I could also just add the follwing MCXFlags:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>usecomp_name_for_machinename</key>
<true/>
</dict>
</plist>
Am I looking in the wrong place or was this removed?

It's moved to Computer / Preferences / Login / Options. The checkbox says "Set computer name to computer record name".

What happens when the computer get too full of e-mails? Will it automatically start deleting ... or give you some kind of warning?? I never delete personal mail right away since I might want to refer back to it, and then the first thing I know, I've got a big backlog.

It will not automatically delete any emails; you will need to do that. You may suffer performance issues in Mail if you let your mailboxes become too bloated. And, aside from Mail, the files take up a lot of room are photos, videos, and music, so you might want to watch those - every once in a while, check how much hard drive space you have and make sure you empty the trash regularly. Checking your hard drive space: highlight your Macintosh HD icon on the desktop; hit Command + I and check the total capacity, and how much is left.

What's the WMI class name to get Client Approval status

What's the WMI class name to get Client Approval status.
Unfortunately the below example with class "SMS_R_System" does not have the approval status
Get-WmiObject -Namespace "root\sms\site_LAB" -Class SMS_R_System | fl *
I listed all the available classes and... yeah It's going to take along time to go though all the possibilities.
Note: I'm running this in powershell on the primary first
If anyone knows it... I'd appreciate your help

This is all still in the testing phase so I'm not sure this is the best solution... but here's my problem and idea to resolve it.
Currently in our environment OSD can only be run against unknown computers and approved clients.
I currently automatically approve all clients in a trusted domain. So all systems that succeed OSD and auto join the domain are approved and I can always run OSD against those machines in the future.
Problem is with the systems that fail OSD for any reason and therefore do not automatically join the domain. They end up getting a SCCM record by the name of "Unknown" and therefore cannot run OSD again until the "Unknown" record
is deleted. "Unknown" records happen too frequently to manually delete and I'm not too comfortable with just deleting ALL of them on a scheduled basis.
Additionally there are way too many OU's in my environment to automatically join our OSD'd systems to the domain. So I have a script that checks using a prestart command to see if the system is already in AD, and if so then OSD continues and simply
joins the machine to the domain in it's current OU. If not the tech is given a nasty error message telling them to add the computer object in AD in the proper OU first.
I intend to check , with a Prestart Command if the current system already has a record in SCCM and delete it if found AND is not approved yet. This should resolve the "There are no task sequences available" error I get with
systems that have an "Unknown" SCCM record.
In this way the system will be essentially approved if the system was already prestaged in AD manually by a technician and any "unknown" record for that system will simply be deleted at the point of OSD.
Note: Although I can easily use the new SCCM Powershell cmdlettts and get the "Approved" status, I need to do all of this in WinPE without the cmdletts. If this property is not available via WMI, then I'm guessing this will not work.

What happens if I don't set a client id for durable subscribers?

What happens if I don't set a client id for durable subscribers?

If you do not set a clientID in 2.0, it will automatically set a clientID for
you. This means that you MUST unsubscribe the durable subscriber on the same
host (since otherwise the clientID's will be different)
In general, its good practice to set a client ID anytime you are using durables
(so that you have some control).

What happened to my computer's ability to play sound when I updated to OSX 10.8.2? I had a hard time updating from 10.8 to 10.8.2 and now that I have my sound is gone and not adjustable.

I have a 13" Macbook Pro running OSX 10.8 and when I tried to update to 10.8.1 through the Mac App store it didn't acknowledge that there was an update available so I went to the apple website and manually downloaded the update. When I attempted to update it that way the installer said that my computer did not meet the requirements of the update. That was strange as it was already running 10.8.
So I called apple care and then gave me instructions to restart my computer holding option+command+R and redownload Mountain Lion and after it finally finished, it installed but now I just noticed that my sound icon on the menu bar is greyed out and in system preferences I cannot adjust the sound output. I don't understand what happened, all I wanted to do was update my OS. If anyone has any solutions I'm open. I'm also going to set up a genius bar appointment.
Thanks.

What happens when a program name is typed on the command line?

I mean I know what HAPPENS but I need to know the sequence of events. How would I describe it?
i.e. java MyProg

What is this? Are you taking a take-home exam on basic computer operation? You're asking very similar questions about broad things.
Anyway:
1) the shell parses the command line. it gets a sequence of tokens which are basically just individual strings
2) the shell identifies which tokens on the command line are executables, and which are arguments to those executables. It also figures things out like how to chain the output of one program to the input of another, although this doesn't apply in the example you gave. In your example, "java" is the executable and "MyProg" is a string to pass to the executable as an argument.
3) The shell then searches for the actual program file corresponding to the token that refers to an executable. The shell looks at the PATH environment variable to find a list of directories; it then looks in each directory until it finds the program file. So the program file here would be "java.exe" on a windows system.
4) It then spawns off a new process to run the java program, passing the MyProg string to it as an argument.
Does that help?

What happened to my computer?

Yesterday I turned my computer on, logged in, and clicked the Safari icon and my screen shut off. I did a hard shut down and powered on my computer again. The white apple startup screen came on, then the screen went black after about a minute. I took the battery out, did a few more hard shut downs, and it still doesnt work. It is a 2008 macbook unibody. Typically it is very loud on startup but not now. What could have happened? The only problem I've had with it recently is with the charger connection. I am planning on changing the fan because it doesn't seem to be coming on, but have no idea if that will fix anything.

I would try resetting the SMC. If that does not help, I would take it in for testing/diagnosis (rather than guess about the problem).

WHAT HAPPENED TO MY COMPUTER AFTER UNINSTALLING MOZILLA FIREFOX!!!!!?????

I uninstalled Mozilla Firefox so I could reinstall it since I was having problems printing from my online banking because I could only print it through Internet Explorer.
After uninstalling, I downloaded Mozilla Firefox 19.
When it came to "RUN" or "SAVE" my computer asked me for my Administrative password (which it has never done before and I've owned my laptop since 2007. I tried my password, but I was denied.
What did uninstalling Mozilla Firefox do to my computer??????????
I NEED Mozilla Firefox in order to print shipping labels to send packages.
What changed my computer after the uninstall process???? And how can I fix it?????

Some people have reported luck using the following steps:
* [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/fx/#desktop Download] and save the installer (i.e., choose Save, not Run) to a convenient location
* Right-click the installer and Run as Administrator
Does that work?
If the problem is that you cannot even download the installer, is the problem limited to Firefox or are other downloads affected? I wonder whether it's an IE setting.

BIG DISASTER! I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO MY COMPUTER! PLEASE HELP

Power G4 Mac OS X (10.2.x) Right now it has reverted back to 10.2.8, but it was updated to 10.4 something..
I have a major problem. I have an essay that I need to work on but my computer is acting all strange. A while ago my family decided to split up into accounts instead of just having one for all of us. Everything was going fine until this morning when no one was around, the computer must have fallen asleep. When we tried clicking around on the mouse nothing was happening, the screen was still black, but the computer was still on... So we decided to restart it by pressing the power button. When the computer started up, it had reverted back to the old state, when we only had one account for all of us. Right now it thinks it is version 10.2.8, but we installed Tiger a few months ago. This has happened before (that the computer goes back to the original state) and I believe all we did was restart it, then everything was normal again. I've done that quite a number of times and still no change - I can't access that essay or get the computer to be normal. If anyone has any advice or solution to this problem I would so greatly appreciate the help!

What happened to my display name?

I had a display name specified, but after today's forum downtime, my posts only display my original login name.
Anyone else seeing the same...?
P.S. yes, I see that 'jochemd' is now only 'jochemd'.

Well, I'm not seeing your full name right now:
And I am also seeing this:
which includes a previously non-existent underscore between my first and my second names.
Addition: I have just noticed this, which is wrong:
and the information displayed when I hover over my name includes some garbage for my email address, which I don't know if it can be used to reconstruct my address, which I have asked to be kept private.

How can I manage the accounts I have previously had in my family pack?

Roger Wilmut1 wrote:
Once migrated there is no connection between the previous sub-accounts and the master account. Each sub-account and the master account can be regarded as individual and separate for the purposes of the exercise. In each case all you have to do is go to http://me.com/move and follow the instructions, and it doesn't matter what order you do it in.
It’s wiser – and safer – to migrate your MobileMe sub-accounts first and your main MobileMe account last.
I did, and Apple itself now advises it.
The reasoning behind this is that if you migrate your main account first, from MobileMe to iCloud, that main account ceases to be a MobileMe account. It becomes an iCloud account, instead. And iCloud accounts can’t have sub-accounts.
In consequence, your MobileMe sub-accounts cease to be “sub-accounts of an existing MobileMe account” and their continued existence thus loses its former status and validity. This threatens their own survival, orphaned and cast adrift in the electronic primordial soup.
So, it’s best to migrate them to iCloud first - whereupon they become fully-fledged individual iCloud accounts in their own right - while your main MobileMe account that has been sustaining them is still extant. Then migrate your main MobileMe account as the final step, once your former sub-accounts are safely up and running as new iCloud accounts. There is otherwise the danger of a potential miscarriage during the migration of the sub-accounts and you could lose their names forever.
I had one main account, with my five permitted aliases and with two sub-accounts.
By following the procedure above, this became three iCloud accounts (each of which was given its own Apple ID during the transition) and my five aliases survive on the iCloud account that was formerly my main MobileMe account.
(All my MobileMe email addresses enjoyed the “@mac.com” domain name as well as the “@me.com” domain name and this survived the transition to iCloud, too.)
My credit card details appear only on the Apple ID that was formerly my main MobileMe account; they were not added automatically to the two new Apple IDs that were created when I migrated my sub-accounts to iCloud. You’ll have to do that manually, if you want this facility, before you try to buy anything with them!
Note that the only way you can still have five aliases on an iCloud account is if you already had them when you migrated it from MobileMe to iCloud. Normally, you can have only three aliases on an iCloud account. So, if you want to create a new alias on your iCloud account, you will have to delete three of your existing ones (reducing you to two) in order to make room for it.
The new iCloud accounts created by migrating your MobileMe sub-accounts to iCloud can each now have three aliases of their own but they all have to be completely new ones; you can’t transfer to them any of the five from your former MobileMe main account.
Nor can you convert an iCloud alias into a full iCloud account.
And your iDisc is no more - with no substitute on iCloud.
So, you can now no longer synch files between your Macs unless, bizarrely, you also have an iPhone, an iPad or an iPod running iOS iWork linked to your iCloud account as well. Amazingly, it’s been like that for a year.
Hutber’s Law seems to apply generally to iCloud.
(And to Lion, too, so far as I’m concerned. I much prefer Snow Leopard.)
So, think “Onwards and downwards!” when you embark on this one.
Above all, be extremely careful with your migrations from MobileMe to iCloud: allow yourself plenty of time to perform them, don’t make any assumptions, don’t do anything without first thinking through the potential consequences of your action and don’t allow yourself to get flustered into making an error that could lose you one of your precious email addresses forever. (Which some people clearly have.)

10.5.6 update + Managed Client + MS Office

This is a description of what I have found that works when managing clients using Workgroup Manager on a Leopard Server. Maybe it will help others with a similar issue.
The problem:
When users log into the Leopard server with network home directories and work on MS Word (2004) log out, their workstations (also running Leopard - 10.5.6) display the kernel panic, and have to be restarted.
Note:
The same machines logging into the same Leopard server do not go into KP when users log out after using AppleWorks.
The solution:
Archive and install the workstations back to 10.5.5 - problem is completely solved - no KP's after 95 student logouts after working on MS Word.
I don't know what the explanation is, and I'm too busy with teaching classes to do more investigation, but maybe someone else can add to this thread, possibly with other, better solutions.
Cheers,
Peter

Will do, although I did send the reports (from each machine) to Apple when asked after the reboot - would this contain the same information?
