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.

Preparing for the Deployment, 9 to X migration, Maintenance, and Future stuff.

Preparing for the Deployment:
Infrastructure is predominantly Iniox, 375 Mac Desktops, 100 laptops, and 500 Linux Workstations.

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

The balls make a percussive and melodic sound, whose pitch depends on how fast the ball is moving when it hits the line."
