22 Chapter 1 Mac OS X Server in Action
 Network Install makes it easy to change software configurations, over the network,
on hundreds of Macintosh client computers, as often as necessary. It automates the
setup of lab and faculty computers, facilitates software upgrades, and quickly
refreshes computers to an original, preconfigured state.
 Mac OS X Server offers PostScript-compatible print spooling and job accounting for
print jobs submitted using the Line Printer Remote (LPR) protocol, the industry-
standard Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) protocol, the Windows SMB/CIFS
protocol, and AppleTalk. The server supports both PostScript and non-PostScript print
spooling using the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP).
 Because higher education networks are complex, network services are critically
important. DNS and DHCP can be set up on Mac OS X Server to help client
computers and services find resources on a network. IP filtering can be used to
provide a security firewall around sensitive data.
K–12 Labs and Classrooms
In K–12 educational scenarios, students need access to their own files and must be able
to turn in assignments electronically or in print. Students also need access to
applications (such as iLife) that facilitate learning, but must also be prevented from
using non-instructional applications (such as iChat).
