[Macpartners] November 20th Mac Partners meeting: Apple Remote Desktop, email migration

[Albert Willis]

The next Mac Partners meeting takes place on Monday, November 20,  
12-2:00 pm in the N42 Demo Center.

Topics:

- Apple Remote Desktop
Several departments use Apple Remote Desktop (ARD) for managing their  
Macs, allowing them to perform tasks, such as installing software,  
helping users and troubleshooting, from their desks instead of having  
to visit each machine. It can also create detailed reports about  
machine configurations for asset management purposes. You can read  
more about ARD at http://www.apple.com/remotedesktop/.

Apple Systems Engineer Stephen Ragalevsky will be giving the  
presentation on ARD and also demonstrating its features.

- Email migration
IS&T has announced that Eudora will be retired on December 31, 2006,  
which is rapidly approaching. Some users have created workflows based  
on Eudora and now need help in migrating those workflows to Apple  
Mail. I'll present on how to move certain ways of working from Eudora  
and POP to Mail and IMAP using some features of Mail (and IMAP) that  
may not be well known or understood. If you know of recalcitrant  
Eudora users, please have them attend this presentation.

We'll reserve the first half of the meeting for Apple's ARD  
presentation, general Q & A and announcements; there will be a 10  
minute break at 12:50 and we'll resume with email migration at 1:00  
pm. Refreshments will be provided.
