Adventures in Troubleshooting: TenCon Session: Deploying and Maintaining Mac OS X in the Enterprise: "TenCon Session: Deploying and Maintaining Mac OS X in the Enterprise

Bethany and Gabriel from Pixar are talking about Deploying and Maintaining OS X in the Enterprise this morning. I'm putting all the session notes below the cut for the time being.

The Stevens Creek room at the Westin is now quite full, maybe 120 people have gathered here to listen.

Gabe and Bethany are both part of the IT culture at Pixar, and together make up most of the design team for their OS X squad.

Mac OS X provides a lower cost of ownership, allows Users to maintain OS 9 type control."

We waited. We waited. We noticed the doorbell. We rang. We waited. Eventually we grew bold and entered. This brought us into a narrow hallway that had all the indications of being nothing more than drywall, veneer and ceiling tile. We said 'Hello....?' No one answered our question. We proceeded down the hallway flanked by doors, unsure as to whether the desire not to surprise someone for the sake of politeness overrode the rudeness of opening a closed door. At an impasse, we kept walking down the hallway, not opening any doors. But, we rapidly became trapped, when we realized that the only way out of this hallway was to open a door.
