Notes on MCX

Here are a few notes on various bits of MCX stuff I'm gleaning as I go.

Handling DNS search domains

It seems that search domains are specified per interface and the interface key changes on each machine. At the moment I've decided to handle this in the system image as too hard under MCX.

Software Update

The server used for Software Update is saved in /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate

The key has to be added to the file as “CatalogURL” and should be set to “http://server.domain.com:8088/
