This may be a stupid question, but can a user which is defined on
an OD server be an admin user on a managed client? This would be
easier than to define a local admin for t he both of us on each of
our Macs. I understand, of course, that you have to have at least
one local admin on each machine, but could we additionally have two
admins on the OD which are also admins on all our clients?
The answer is yes - in a sense. Obviously there the checkbox in WGM
to allow a user to become an "Administrator" etc., but that's
potentially a road you don't want to go down.
We only have *one* local account on any of our managed machines -
obviously it's an "admin" account. However I suspect you're asking
"around" the question. What exactly are you trying to achieve? I know
you've asked about "two admins...also admins" etc - but what is it
you want or need the admin privileges for on all the managed
machines? [Just a little more detail, without presupposed solutions
to a problem you haven't actually stated.]
(I *guess* it's not possible, since you would also have to define
on which machines this user is an admin, and that may be
difficult... right?)
Well, again it depends on what you're trying to do. But it does sound
at lot like Dan's Wooly Thinking™ :-)
