Apple Mac OS X Server (Administrator’s Guide) - Manual (Page 417)

Client Management: Mac OS 9 and OS 8 417
The computer locates Macintosh Manager servers (any Mac OS X Server with Macintosh
Manager server processes installed) on your network automatically when you log out. You
can select the server you want to use. If the computer can’t locate a Macintosh Manager
server, browse to find the TCP/IP address (not the AppleTalk address) of the server you want.
To set up Mac OS 8 client computers:
1 Make sure the system software is Mac OS 8 (version 8.1 or later).
2 Install Macintosh Manager client software.
3 Restart the computer.
To stop managing Mac OS 8 client computers, remove the Multiple Users startup extension
from the System Folder and restart the computer.
Using Update Packages
If you are already using Macintosh Manager 2.0 or later on a client computer, you can easily
upgrade to the latest version of Macintosh Manager by using an automatic update package.
The update package is located on the Macintosh Manager installation CD. It is not installed
automatically.
To use an update package:
m Copy the update package to the Multi-User Items folder on your Macintosh Manager
server.
All connected clients periodically look for an update package in the Multi-User Items folder. If
an update package is found, clients run the update automatically regardless of whether or
not the update is for a new or previous version. Before you use an update package, be sure
to shut down any computers you don’t want to update. After the update is complete, remove
the update package from the Multi-User Items folder, and then restart the client computers.
Choosing a Language for Macintosh Manager Servers and Clients
Ideally, the language used on client computers should match the language used on the
Macintosh Manager server. However, if you want to set up different languages on certain
client computers, you can do so.
Important For computers using Mac OS 8.6, a user in the Finder environment can access
the Startup Disk control panel. Disable the control panel with Extensions Manager before
you use Macintosh Manager with those computers.
