As a FileWave user you may have noticed some issues with different Adobe Plugin installers.  

Shockwave

When you first download Shockwave Player and open the DMG, you are presented with a file that has a .pkg filename.

Right clicking on the .pkg and selecting “Show Package Contents” give us the all of the parts that are going to be installed. We discover that there is a compressed file inside the pkg installer (Archive.pax.gz).

White paper for iLife11 fileset creation:

Please follow the steps from below to build the iLife11 fileset.

Prerequisites:
Update quicktime components, and Llife Support on the client where you are going to create the fileset.  The minimum version of OSX is 10.6.3

Summary:

This knowledge base article describes the steps to use fileset merge feature in FilesetMagic to merge an update directly to the existing fileset. An example for when this might be useful is when you need to deploy a software update for a software package that is currently controlled by FileWave. Deploying software updates to client machines using pkg fileset can cause the changes to revert back if the software fileset files are set to self heal.

Procedure:

Summary ( If you are using Deploy Studio in your environment read this )

 A very common practice for FileWave Administrators is including the FileWave Client on their base image.  This ensures that all of your machines will have the ability to connect to the server remotely, so that you will never have to use any method other than FileWave to deploy software to the machine.

FileWave TCP/IP Port Usage

By default the FileWave software listens on the TCP/IP ports listed below. These are the defaults and they can be configured to listen on different ports if required.

FileWave Client Ports
20010 TCP/IP for monitor-client communication

FileWave Server Ports
20015 TCP/IP for server-client communication
20017 TCP/IP for server-client secure (SSL) communication
20016 TCP/IP for admin-server communication

This is a fileset that allows you to create a new user account through fileset deployment. If you would like to create new user accounts in Tiger, you can find instructions here.

1. Download the Create New User Fileset (OS X Leopard) and import it into your FileWave Server.

Many customers have asked us if there's a way to store their Server's data on a non-startup volume or on network shares ( AFP Shares for Mac or CIFS Shares for windows) . In in this posting you find  instructions for linking the Server Data Folder to another location on OS X, and Windows. You may follow these same steps for the Booster, accounting for small differences in folder names.

OS X

To migrate the FileWave server from one machine to another, use the following procedure:

Summary:

With FileWave version 5.x or later you can have Mac OS X clients run a script whenever they log in or out. You can achieve that easily by creating a login hook fileset using Policy Manager. This article shows you how to create a login hook Fileset.

If you want to change the client password using super prefs fileset please dont do it.

The password set in the super prefs file is not saved in the client prefrences prefrences, hence your old password will be changed to a passowrd that we dont know.

Resolution : This issue has been fixed in FileWave 4.1.
