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.

Client computers using different languages can connect to the same server provided the
server language script matches the client language script. For example, a user at a client
computer that uses French-language client software with the script set to Roman can connect
to the server. Another user at a German client computer using Roman script can also use the
same server. You can set the script in the International pane of System Preferences (in
Mac OS X) or using the International control panel (in Mac OS 9 or 8).

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.
