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
Use nested groups.
Take your existing 'Teachers' group or equivalent, and put it inside
the local admin group in NetInfo.
In NetInfo, in the admin group, make a 'nestedgroups' property. Put
in it the 'genereateduid' property of the 'Teachers' group from your
directory service.
