I have a set of 1.33ghz iBooks that will be given to teachers to use
both on campus and off campus (home). I am wondering what is the best
method for allowing the users to administer local preferences such as
Network Preferences. I understand how to manage preferences but what I
don't understand is how does a mobile user change Network preferences
when it is locked and only an Admin user can change it?
Currently on the iBooks there are two accounts:
1. Local Administrator
2. Mobile account
Is there a way when the teachers accounts are first added to the local
machine, that they can be added as local administrators, therefore
giving them rights to change Network Preferences? I wonder how
everyone is setting this up currently?
My setup:
1. All teacher iBooks managed in Machine list
2. Teachers managed in "Teacher Group"
3. Teacher logs into her laptop for the first time and Mobile account
is created
4. Teacher goes home and can not connect to their DSL provider because
they do not have privileges
5. Teacher can not change SMTP server from schools to home
Any Suggestion would be greatly appreciated from those that are doing
one-to-one computing where computers are moving between work, home,
school environment.
