Mac Image Deployment and Patch Management with Munki
An open source project with a lot of steam and community support behind it, Munki (munki.googlecode.com) is a project that provides SysAdmins managing Macs with patch management that presents a user-friendly interface to end users. Requiring light infrastructure and minimal bootstrapping time, Munki can also be utilized to ensure software and settings are present when new machines are deployed. It can be made responsible for enforcing security updates in a timely fashion, uninstalling software when those licenses would be better utilized elsewhere, and yet is also versatile enough to enable self-service opt-in for customers who'd prefer to be allowed to choose from approved software (even persnickety Adobe products).
We'll discuss the pull philosophy that allows this to more easily scale, and the license management gains of having the installed state of workstations documented centrally.
