I haven't had to download it or add it to my Keychain or whatever the Windows equivalent would be. I was able to simply pass the p7m through the command or a viewer and read the message.

Proteus Jones posted:Did it prompt you for a passphrase? It could be it was wrapped in the p7m container with no encryption. Which is weird, but then again you could construct SSL/TLS tunnels with NULL for the encryption cipher, so who knows. Nothing, which tells me anybody could do the same. The guy means well, but I see a bit of a flaw here.

I think I've broken the partition table on my iMac. Basically, I had a 500 GB disk split into a 420 GB and 80 GB volume. I tried to delete the 80 GB partition in the disk's Recovery partition, but couldn't. Then I tried Internet Recovery and could, but the 80 GB disappeared. I'm not quite sure what to do from here, so I'd appreciate any help. I have a Haus of Tech Support thread here.

Thanks, Pivo. I see what you're saying, but it really wouldn't assume the 80 GB, despite that volume being deleted. The disk seems to have had a bad entry in its partition table. I 1.

It's time for iCloud Time Machine if you ask me. It'd be a perfect way to get more 2 TB subscribers. Also, I can't seem to find the Switch to Classic Mode switch in YouTube, but I have found that turning off uBlock seems to resolve the issues I was having.

Convenience comes to mind. That’s probably a minor point because you can give the admin creds when they’re needed. My other concern would be a false sense of security. There are definitely other things you should do in the interest of security (two-factor, account hygiene, making good decisions about who you share your data with).

I can PM some of the things we’ve got that work pretty well (policies, maybe a config profile or two).

I can’t say I’ve ever seen that either, and that is with a significant number of upgrades (1000+) each year.

I start thinking about AD and DNS and start thinking this would be a bad idea (same hostname for both). I'm not sure what your conventions are for naming, but some places do the serial number straight up, so that could be tricky. Otherwise, denoting something like BLDG-Room-Mac vs. BLDG-Room-PC would probably suffice.

I discovered that toggling the highlighted option in Accessibility settings fixes it, but I can't figure out the easiest way to toggle the setting without going all the way through System Preferences — is this something I can do with AppleScript? Can I trigger it from Terminal somehow? You could try a script like this... code:If not, personally, I put the Accessibility icon in the menu bar (for grayscale), and that might be a quicker way than trying to hack something together with AppleScript.

Toast Museum posted:I had zero luck getting NetBoot working with High Sierra, so I guess no changes there for me. Clients could see the NetBoot share in Startup Disk but couldn't boot to it, and it never showed up when holding option during startup. I think initially High Sierra had some problems with NetInstall, but they were resolved later, not that it really matters now. Looking at this again, Apple plans to remove NetInstall from the UI Fall 2018, so we probably won't be seeing it at all on Mojave. That said, they do offer some alternatives, and I believe content caching can host macOS Internet Recovery files for 10.13.4+.

I would go with High Sierra personally. I'm an advocate for running the latest operating system you can, and I can't think of a downside really. You would run into the same situation (no more security updates) next year if you don't upgrade now. I don't know about SIP, but I'm curious about why you need to disable it. Are you using an external GPU with the MacBook Pro, or did you hotrod it some other way?

I use it very occasionally from my work laptop to access my iMac at home and, since updating both machines, I can't seem to 'see' my iMac from my MacBook unless I'm actually sitting in the same room. I’d check your Sharing settings. I know they wanted to lock down remote access, but I thought it was only programmatic that they were killing it (kickstart binary).

Toast Museum posted:Is it possible to rename a device in target disk mode? How about installing an enrollment profile? The naming might be possible by editing the right file with Terminal (looks like /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.smb.plist), but I would be wary. With enrollment profile, though you could place one on the volume, I think in the best scenario you're going to run into UAMDM if you're running anything 10.13.4+. Are you the guy who has Jamf but can't use it because of office politics? Are you starting to use it now and need to enroll devices? With a live Jamf server, there are other ways you could handle both tasks. nitsuga fucked around with this message at 03:11 on Oct 18, 2018 |

Toast Museum posted:Yeah, I'm that guy. Sadly, I'm still trying to get by with Server.app profile management. On one hand, it's hilariously limited. On the other hand, I don't think it involves any kernel extensions, so UAMDM shouldn't matter, right? I'm pretty sure UAMDM is going to come into play from the get go. My understanding is you can send out the MDM profile, or any profile, but someone physically at the computer has to approve it before the profiles will do anything. I'm curious if you could package the profiles and install them with ARD though. Looks like you can install them with something like this: code:code:

adorai posted:My wife has a pretty new macbook air that is having some trouble. She did an update, and then began getting a kernel panic issue. It said something along the lines of the system is restarting unexpectedly or something like that. We tried the MacOS recovery mode which did not work, so I did an erase of the disk and tried the recovery again. The recovery appears to be successful, but it will never boot to the disk. My only option is Internet Recovery. Further, in the recovery mode, when I go to "select startup disk" the disk is not listed as a boot option. Any ideas? Used or new? Sounds like a failed SSD. New, I’d head to the fruit stand. Used, I think they might still be replaceable, the hardware thread can help you more.
