AirPods Support. Forgot Apple ID or password. Billing and subscriptions. Trade in with Apple. Turn an eligible device into credit towards a new one, or recycle it for free. Apple Trade In is good for you and the planet. The first command will install watchman, an open-source file watching tool. The other two commands will set up a watcher for the Downloads folder. Anytime a file is added or modified in that folder, watchman will call the script in /remove-quarantine.sh (the tilde is a short way to write your home folder, which is /Users/).

I recently wrote up an article on some of the new malware safeguards in Snow Leopard. Well, turns out some people want to disable some of it. So you know the prompt that you are downloading an application that then asks you if you want to open it since it's been quarantined. Well, you can disable it (not that you should but I've seen a couple of cases now where I needed to. To do so you're going to place an LSQuarantine key into the com.apple.LaunchServices.plist. To do so, run:
defaults write com.apple.LaunchServices LSQuarantine -bool NO
To set it back to normal:
defaults write com.apple.LaunchServices LSQuarantine -bool YES

Everyone in this pic (other than the guy in the red shirt in the middle) started the dinner hating Mac computers. Not anymore!

'I hate Mac.'

I Hate Quarantine Mac Os 11

That's what I heard from a lot of people at Microsoft Ignite this year.

Which is funny, because when you work at a company like Parallels (which has been at the forefront of making Mac accessible to the corporate enterprise user), that sentence is kind of like being splashed in the face with ice-cold water.

'I hate Mac.'

That's almost like saying, 'I hate puppies, chocolate, and warm fuzzy blankets on a chilly evening.'

So who was telling me this?

It certainly wasn't anyone who came up to our booth and said, 'Wow, I love Parallels. I've been using your software for two (or five or 10 years) and I love running windows on my Mac!'

No, it wasn't them, because they were daily Mac® users. They were software developers, UX designers, marketing people—heck, even some C-level leaders. And they loved their Mac computers.

I'm sure you have people in your own life like them—some sister or cousin or co-worker who has a silver Mac with stickers all over it and goes on and on about how great Mac is.

They're kind of like people who do CrossFit. You know you never have to ask someone who does CrossFit about it…they'll tell you all about it on their own. Over and over and over.

Mac users are like that. I should know—that's a large part of the Parallels customer base. These Mac lovers use Parallels to make their Mac 'work in the corporate enterprise.' Parallels Desktop® for Mac lets them stay 'Mac people' but enables them access to Windows applications when they need to use them.

So no, it wasn't the end users who were telling me how much they hated Mac.

Dance of the poverty gods mac os. Who was it?

Windows admins. IT people. SCCM gurus. Intune experts.

These people told me that they hated Mac.

So I asked them, 'Why? How could you hate Mac? It's an incredibly elegant piece of hardware with an amazing OS that is so good, the people who use it are extremely loyal to the Apple brand!'

And to a person, they answered, 'Exactly.'

You see, to the Windows admin, Mac is unmanageable.

What do I mean? Think about it. Doing simple things like pushing out OS updates, managing application versions, writing scripts, creating user profiles—all the stuff normal Windows admins use System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) for when dealing with Windows PCs—you can't manage Mac that way. Right?

Ask these Windows admins, and they'll tell you that often they need YET ANOTHER console—some special 'Apple-specific' software package—to manage Mac.

YAPOS: Yet Another Piece of Software. That's the acronym I heard from them. Every vendor has YAPOS for Windows admins to buy and use to manage different endpoints.

Windows IT people are tired of YAPOS. Plutos tears (ld35 jam version) mac os. They want to work in SCCM. They want to work in Intune.

And since Mac, supposedly, can't live in SCCM or Intune, admins usually do one of three things:

  • Ban them.
  • Ignore them and keep them off the network.
  • Spend a lot of IT budget that could be going to Windows projects on YAPOS to manage these Mac devices.

So that's why, to most Windows IT professionals, Mac computers are about as welcome on their networks as your crazy Uncle Al, who believes we faked the moon landing but is still welcome at your Thanksgiving dinner.

So why did I say 'most' and not 'all' Windows IT professionals?

That's because some smart and forward-thinking IT pros are using Parallels® Mac Management for Microsoft® SCCM.

You see, Parallels Mac Management lives in SCCM! Speed word search (matthew santiago) mac os. It's not YAPOS—it's simply a plug-in for SCCM.

The same keystrokes and mouse clicks a Windows admin uses to manage PCs in SCCM, they can use to manage Mac.

  • Can you push out OS updates? Yep!
  • Can you push out applications? Yep!
  • Can you write scripts for Mac? Yep!
  • Can you support internet-based computer management? Yep!
  • Can you stay in the SCCM console and not use a separate console, which costs a lot of money and does way too many things that you don't need to use it for, like managing printers and other stuff you already do in Windows? Yep!

Windows IT pros that use Parallels Mac Management don't hate Mac!

More importantly, Windows admins who use Parallels Mac Management feel they can support and even offer Mac computers to end users who need them to do their jobs.

If you're a Windows professional and are interested in how you can learn to love Mac—or at least learn to stop hating them with the white-hot intensity of a thousand burring suns—you can take a look at what we do.

And as a final note:

'Sounds great, Derek, but we use Intune over here at XYZ company. What do you do for that?'

Answer: 'Watch this space!'
