Re: Admin user for managed clients



Tina,

I can't think of any ingenious ways to do this via networked users, but a workaround that comes to mind is using Apple Remote Desktop to create two local admin accounts on all your machines. You can even periodically change their passwords with ARD.

We are two people at our IT department. Both of us need administrator rights on our (managed) clients, but we are not supposed to use the same single local admin account for the both of us (it should be possible to track down who was actually logged in at a certain time). This means we need *two* admin accounts on each client. Instead of creating those two admins locally on each client, we'd like to create two admins on the OD server, which we can use to administer all the clients that are bound to this OD server.This would also make it MUCH easier to change the password from time to time... just changing it on the OD instead of changing on 100 or more clients...

I know I can check the box "allow user to administer the server" but I understand this means what it says, admin rights on the*server*, not on the client(s) - am I wrong??

I hope it is clearer now...
