thats an apple directory services feature for an osx client in an osx domain. the question is how to get the same thing to work for osx in a windows environment and the answer get MS to work on openldap

what i'm saying is

if i flick that checkbox on our mac build

it caches that user's login credentials like you would expect a windows laptop to do by default on our ms domain

that's how we preconfigure our mbps for the handful of people that have them

we don't have an os x server on this side of the firewall

pretty much

we gave our production guys a choice and half of them are transitioning to our windows workstations instead of loving around with the 'literally a macbook air' imacs or mac pros

yeah, it does that here, but we can't control the expiry date (or there's some CLI wizardry on some deep buried com.apple.plist somewhere)

ah I get you

the cache expiry is something we haven't really ended up caring about

so did those hadron nerds just bootcamp all their poo poo?? probably all running windows on those things.

I have to use OSX every day and it is super clunky to have to navigate or copy things from folder to folder with it. idk why aple cant make a interface button that goes UP one in the folder hierarchy. in windows its the lil folder w/green up arrow icon. real good button. use it all the time. the mac equivalent is a list of the whole heirarchy but it's like a web browser history so if u open up a really nested folder from a shortcut theres no good way to get to its parent since u didnt travel all the way there from ur desktop. garbage poo poo in tyool2014. does linux have this button?i bet

oh yeah my work switched us to google drive/office for our collaborative poo poo because office is expensive and one of my colleagues tried to email(gmail) me a .cmd file the other day with a bullshit "heres ur payment on dropbox" message and i bet he tricked a lot of people here with that sneaky trick lmao

in os x there's a hidden setting that puts the full path clickable on the bottom of the finder window which is probably as close as you can get

linear regressions are always supposed to be all crooked

just reboot, hold ⌘⌥PR down until it beeps twice, and the linear regression will fix itself with gay aversion therapy

yeah that's the other thing. they break random things every point release so you never ever upgrade unless theres a feature you want and you've gone through a month of regression testing

apple basically doesn't give a poo poo about any part of os x actually working or not

the fact that any part of it hangs together at all is no less than a miracle

we gave you x, y, and z as options, but only one of them will work at any given time, have fun figuring it out

i particularly liked the transition plan of simply not using .file metadata from one os x version to the next over smb shares, that's a loving landmine we're still standing on and I'm not about to lift the foot on it

alright no trolling in the pos please are those actually the names of a thing

it's integrating an apple directory server into your ad domain, there's write-ups of it if you're interested

right now if you want to authenticate to ad network resources you're putting an additional entry into the keychain with your ad creds for every resource and that's retarded

have u guys tried updating to the latest osx mavericks?

we did a few manually, but between our other long term projects we put casper9 and mavericks deployment on hold

the people who care about mavericks/yosemite will be getting new macs at the replacement cycle with yosemite soon enough anyway

I went over to hp to see what their current thin client pricing is.

for $309 you can get a thin client with 2gb of ram, a comedy option via processor, and no os.
for $439 you get the same thing, but with windows embedded.
for $419 you can get a desktop with 2gb of ram, a real cpu, and windows 8 pro w/ downgrade rights to 7 (and a hdd, but who cares)

who buys thin clients? who is falling for that scam?

people who run afoul of salesmen trying to push massive rackfulls of servers and "enterprise grade" graphics cards
