The table below lists certain preferences that are always copied, and other preferences that
are never copied. You do not have to include any of these preferences in the Preserved
Preferences folder.

Sharing Mac OS 9 Application Preferences in the Classic Environment

You can use Workgroup Manager to make sure preferences for Mac OS 9 applications are
maintained when the application is opened in Mac OS X using the Classic Environment. This
way, users with network home directories will keep the same Mac OS 9 application
preferences when they log in on different computers. This also ensures that Mac OS 9
application preferences are preserved when a managed user switches from a Macintosh
Manager client computer (using Mac OS 9) to a Workgroup Manager client computer (using
Mac OS X).

To share preferences with Classic:

1

From your administrator computer, open Workgroup Manager.

2

Use the At pop-up menu to locate the directory domain containing the user, group, or
computer list account you want to modify.

3

Click the lock and enter your user name and password.

4

Select an account, then click Preferences.

5

Click Classic, then click Advanced.

6

Set preference management to Always.
