    Can I use iMovie 1.0.x with NetBoot, Macintosh Manager, or Multiple Users?

DISCUSSION

    iMovie 1.0.x is not compatible with NetBoot clients. In a typical NetBoot environment, the user's documents are stored on a central server, accessed over the network. The throughput requirements for capturing digital video are currently too high for the network speeds currently supported by iMac.

    iMovie can be used with Macintosh Manager 1.2.x or Multiple Users in certain environments. In Macintosh Manager, iMovie can be used by Finder and Restricted Finder workgroups. In order to give access to iMovie in a Restricted Finder workgroup, follow these steps:

      1. Make sure that the iMovie folder is at the root level of the workstation's hard disk.

      2. In Macintosh Manager admin, open the appropriate workgroup. Under the Items tab, add the iMovie application to the list of approved items for the workgroup.

      3. Then, under Privileges tab, enter iMovie in the box next to "Folder on the startup disk named" and select Read & Write access.



    In Multiple Users, iMovie can be used by Normal, Limited, and Panels users. For Limited and Panels users, simply movie the iMovie folder to the Shared Documents folder inside the Users folder on your hard disk. Access to this shared folder is on by default for Limited and panels users.

    Note that by following these steps you will allow users to run iMovie, but you will also allow access to iMovie program files. You must take steps to ensure that users do not move or delete these files.
