mlenny Posted April 25, 2005 Report Share Posted April 25, 2005 Where are the OS X Retrospect client configuration files stored on the workstation? In particular, the file that stores the name of the client itself. I know you set the name for the client remotely from the Retrospect Server application, but I am assuming the name for the Retrospect client is also stored locally on the workstation in a preference file somewhere. We will be managing our workstations with a product called Radmind that can be used for rolling out updates, new configurations, etc. It works by ensuring all workstations match a "master client" at the file-system level. A bit like Norton Ghost on Windows. I will need to exclude this file(s) so I doesn't get managed by Radmind, or else it will get replaced with a generic file that I assume would mean it loses its assigned name and won't be found by Retrospect Server. Can anyone confirm where the file(s) is/are kept? Also, whether the problem I forsee above would actually happen? Would the server simply synchronise the client's name again when it next connects after a Radmind update? Kind regards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
