[MacTUG] Room change for Nov

Thu Nov 21 13:07:27 EST 2013

I get a redemption code via mail and I get the user to create a role-based Apple ID to redeem it.

That is the reason Retail Services and IST are no longer offering Apple Software, it falls under the not easily managed that I mentioned.
I can talk with Terry and see what they have in place and report back to the group.

I guess I'm wondering how this is managed after purchase. How are my purchases kept separate from other department purchases on that Apple ID and how are updates managed.

All the best,

Is there a generic email account that we use to contact Purchasing/Procurement regarding this?
Their website seems to list individual people as contacts which seems strange to me.
We've tended to deal with Terry Taylor.

IST does not have a central account for purchasing Apple products. When Retail Services and myself last sat and talked with Phil (our rep) about their academic program, it was clear that it is not an easily managed program.
If the licensing model has changed, I would be happy to meet and talk with them again.
Purchasing does have a iTunes account set up and you can purchase through them, I believe it is a Corporate account.

This all sounds good to me. I would like to add perhaps a very small discussion about the Volume Purchase Program now that managing enterprise apps seems to be present in the new version of Profile Manager. I would like a bit more information about how the volume pricing program works, do we already have a central account through IST?, and how perhaps we could make that work in a highly distributed environment such as ours.

I think Marlon is heading in the right direction for the discussion as
I would like it to stay focussed on Mavericks and Enterprise.

We DO NOT need to be shown things like Œtabs in finder windows¹ in
Mavericks, or other such consumer focused features in OS X or iOS. I
don¹t think we need to have cool little features pointed out to us that
our clients may appreciate. Frankly we likely all knew of all these
features (via gossip from nerd sites) before Mavericks was even released.

We do not have a lot of time and I would like to not spend any of it
talking about iOS ‹ and given I just wiped and reinstalled iOS 7 on my
iPhone last night to try to stop it from freezing, my desire to not
talk about iOS is not because I think it is perfect, haha.

I would like him to talk about any features in Mavericks that Apple
views as improvements to the enterprise world, specifically a
windows-centric enterprise environment. So that would include
1) Profile Manager and Server ‹ particularly any enhancements as we all
feel that the feature set was thinned down a bit when we left WGM.
2) AD integration - including using AD groups with profile manager
(something that I still have not got working)
3) SMB as marlon suggested
