Managing Computer Preferences

Computer preferences are shared among all computers in a list. In some cases, it may be more useful to manage preferences for computers instead of for users or groups.

1. In Workgroup Manager, click Preferences.
2. Make sure the right directory is selected and that you are authenticated for it.

   To switch directories, click the small globe above the accounts list. If you are not authenticated, click the lock.

3. Click the Computer Lists button and select one or more computer lists.

   If you are setting preferences for the Guest computers account, you must select the radio button "Define Guest Computer preferences".

4. Click the icon for the preference you want to manage.
5. In each preference pane, choose a management setting.

   In some cases (Printing and Media Access, for example), the management setting applies to all preferences rather than to individual panes within the preference.

6. Select preference settings or fill in information you want to use.

   Some management settings are not available for some preferences, and some preferences are not available to some types of accounts.

7. Click Apply Now.
