Additionally, congratulations to all of you who responded correctly to last month’s Challenge asking you to remedy those pesky question marks that appeared in your user’s docks after the Mac OS X 10.4.10 release. For those who’d like to know the answer….here it is.

Recon Suite in Action

Moving your Macs from an unmanaged state to a managed one can seem daunting. With so many things to consider, it can be difficult to know where to begin. Might we suggest Recon Suite? Using this, you can gather an accurate inventory of all your network devices and computers. Every application, font, plug-in, peripheral and device on the network is documented.

Recon Suite can quickly acquire your Macs via a network scan if SSH is enabled, or by deploying a package that creates an SSH account for you. Once we have these inventoried it’s easy to generate reports or export your data. Finally, Recon Suite makes it easy to stay compliant with your licensed applications by providing you an easy interface to track and monitor these applications.

The hardware and software you purchase represents a significant investment, yet maintaining an accurate inventory of what has been purchased can be problematic. Recon Suite solves the compliance and planning challenges associated with such purchases. To learn more about Recon Suite, please contact us at info@jamfsoftware.com.

Support from Support

Last month we showed you how easy it is to package & deploy Adobe CS3 using Casper Suite. Now how do you handle one of the many updates? We’ve made it simple and have created a document to help you continue to keep your patches up to date, and your users happy.
