Setting Up Computer Lists
You can use Macintosh Manager to manage computers by grouping several computers
together and choosing settings for them. Once you create a list of computers you want to
manage, you can select workgroups that are allowed to use them, and you can customize
control settings, security settings, and login settings for each list. Checkout features are used
to manage portable computers such as iBooks.
This section tells you how to set up computer lists individually, by duplication, or by using
a template.
Creating Computer Lists
Computer lists are simply groups of computers, in the same way that workgroups are groups
of users. These lists appear under “Machine Lists” on the left side of the Computers pane.
You can limit access to computers by assigning specific workgroups to the computers you
want them to use. Computer lists are also useful if you want certain computers to have
different settings.
A computer cannot belong to more than one list.
To set up a computer list:
1 In Macintosh Manager, click Computers, and then click Lists.
2 Click Add and give the new list a name.
The name can contain up to 31 characters (including period, underscore, dash, or space).
The name cannot contain a colon (:).
3 Click Find and choose or connect to a computer from the workstation selection window.
Repeat this step for each computer you want to appear in the list. To remove a computer
from the list, select it and click Remove.
4 Make sure the login option is set to Enabled. Choose additional settings for the computer list
in the other Computers panes, then click Save.
Note: If you use Macintosh Manager to manage a computer named using Japanese
characters, the name in the list on the Computers/Lists tab in Macintosh Manager is garbled.
Setting Up the All Other Computers Account
Any settings selected for All Other Computers are applied to computers that connect to your
managed network but do not appear in their own computer lists. These computers are also
called guest computers.
To set up the All Other Computers account:
1 In Macintosh Manager, click Computers.
2 Select the All Other Computers account.
