Requirements for Updating

Version 4.0 Already Installed

You can use the Updater only on a workstation that has
version 4.0 installed. The Updater will not run if you have
an older version (3.x or earlier) of At Ease installed. If
you have an earlier version of At Ease, you must obtain At
Ease 4.0 (which is part of the Apple Network Administrator
Toolkit) before you can use this updater.

At Ease Server Not Changed

Only the At Ease client and administrator workstations need
to be updated.  The At Ease Server used in version 4.0 has
not changed for 4.0.1 and will not be updated by this
updater application program.  You should continue to use the
At Ease 4.0 version of the At Ease Server extension.

Updating Procedure

Installation Options

There are three ways of updating At Ease 4.0 on one or more
machines: by using Network Assistant 2.0 or later, by using
an At Ease 4.0.1 UpdaterÕs floppy disk on each workstation,
or by installing the updated software on each workstation by
launching the Updater over the network on a server.  Note
that if you choose to perform the update by using Network
Assistant, you must first update one workstation via floppy
disk or over the network.  It is probably most convenient to
first update the administrator workstation from which you
will perform the At Ease 4.0.1 update.  On this workstation
you must install both the administrator and client
workstation software.  The administrator workstation and
every client workstation which you wish to update must
already have Network Assistant installed on it.

Files the Updater Needs to Locate

The Updater attempts to locate and, in most cases, update
all of the files automatically.

If it cannot automatically find a file, it will ask you for
the location of the missing file.  If you cannot locate the
file, or if you know the file does not exist on the machine,
you can click the Skip button to bypass that particular
file.  You may need to do this if you want to update just
the administration program on your machine because it does
not also have the workstation software installed on it.

If the Updater finds multiple copies of a file, it will ask
if you want to remove the other copies before it updates. 
Other copies must be removed before the update can take
place. You can have the Updater remove the other copies
automatically, or you can cancel the update and remove them
manually using the Finder.  If you cancel the update, no
files will be touched.

Updating Using Network Assistant

Using the Network Assistant application program to perform
the update, it is not necessary to visit each individual
workstation; the updating can be done from an
administrator's workstation, as long as the administrator's
workstation has already been updated to At Ease 4.0.1, and
as long as the four boxes "Allow administrators to:",
"Restart and shut down this workstation", "Copy items to
this workstation", and "Delete and Replace items on this
workstation" are checked.

Follow these steps to update At Ease 4.0 to version 4.0.1 by
using Network Assistant 2.0 or later:

1.  Launch the At Ease Administration application program
from an administrator workstation.  Make sure the At Ease
server that you want to administer is listed in the upper
left-hand corner of the initial window. If it is not, click
the Change Server button and find the correct At Ease
server. Enter the adminstrator's password and click the OK
button. 

2.  The next window that appears is the main At Ease
Administration window.  Turn off At Ease on each client
workstation you are updating by clicking the "Off" button in
the upper right-hand corner.  Now quit At Ease
Administration.

3.  Launch Network Assistant, enter your password, and click
OK. In the Workstation Status window will appear each client
workstation which can be administered by the workstation
running Network Assistant.  Hold down the shift key and and
click on each workstation which you want to update to At
Ease 4.0.1. 

4.  From the Manage menu select the RestartÉ menu item.  In
the resulting dialog click on the "Let users save their
work" button and then click the restart button. The selected
machines will restart and launch the Finder.

5.  In the Workstation Status window, reselect the
workstations you selected in step 3 above, and from the
Manage menu, select the Copy Items... menu item.

6.  In the resulting dialog, click on the word "contains"
and from the pop-up menu select the word "is".  In the white
box to the right enter the words "At Ease" and click the
Find button below.  In the "Items found on" list, select the
line whose "Kind:" is "system extension" and whose
"Location:" ends with ":System Folder:" in the panel below
(there may be only one item in the list).  Click on the Copy
button below the list.

7.  A dialog will appear warning you that the item already
exists.  Click on the Replace button.

8.  In the box to the right of the "name" and "is" buttons,
change "At Ease" to "At Ease Startup" and click the Find
button.  In the "Items found on" list, select the line whose
"Kind:" is "system extension" and whose "Location:" ends
with ":System Folder:Extensions:" in the panel below (there
may be only one item in the list).  Click on the Copy button
below the list.

9.  A dialog will appear warning you that the item already
exists.  Click on the Replace button.

10.  Click on the Close Window button which is below the
Find button.  Quit the Network Assistant application
program.

11.  Launch the At Ease Administration application program
as you did in step 1 above.  Make sure the At Ease server
that you want to administer is listed in the upper left-hand
corner of the initial window. If it is not, click the Change
Server button and find the correct At Ease server. Enter the
adminstrator's password and click the OK button. 

12.  The next window that appears is the main At Ease
Administration window.  Turn on At Ease on each client
workstation you updated by clicking the "On" button in the
upper right-hand corner.  Quit the At Ease Administration
application program.

13.  Repeat steps 3 and 4 above to restart each client
workstation in order to activate At Ease again.

Updating From a Floppy Disk

If you want to update to At Ease 4.0.1 by using a floppy
disk, and you do not have one, you can make an update floppy
disk from the on-line image by using the Disc Copy
application program.

Turn off At Ease on each client workstation you are updating
by launching the At Ease Administration application program
on an administrator workstation. Turn At Ease "Off" in the
main window.

Follow these steps on each client workstation to update At
Ease from the floppy disk:

1. Restart the client workstation; it will now start up in
the Finder instead of in At Ease.

2. Insert the Updater disk.

3. Double-click to open the At Ease 4.0.1 Updater
application program.

4. Click Begin in the opening screen. 

5. If the Updater cannot find a file it needs to update, a
message appears asking you to locate that file. If you
cannot find the At Ease or At Ease Startup files, click Skip
to cancel the update. 

6. If necessary, locate any missing files and start the
update again.

When each client workstation has been updated, turn At Ease
back on on each client workstation by launching the At Ease
Administration application program on an administrator
workstation; turn At Ease "On" in the main window.  Restart
each client workstation, which will now start up in At Ease.

Updating Over the Network

Perform these steps on an administrator workstation:

1. Copy the Updater application to an AppleShare server
volume to which your At Ease workstations have access.

2. Make sure the application is locked. (To do this, select
the UpdaterÕs icon, choose Get Info from the File menu, then
click to put an X in the checkbox labeled ÒLocked.Ó)

3. Turn off At Ease on each workstation you are updating by
running the At Ease Administration application and turning
At Ease "Off" in the main window.

Perform these steps on each client workstation to be
updated:

1. Restart the client workstation; it will now start up in
the Finder instead of in At Ease.

2. Mount the server volume that contains the Updater
application and locate it.

5. Double-click to open the Updater application.  

6. Click Begin in the opening screen.

When each client workstation has been updated, turn At Ease
back on on each client workstation by running the At Ease
Administration application program from an administrator
workstation.  Turn At Ease "On" in the main window.  Restart
each client workstation, which will now start up in At Ease.
 
Clarification: User's Own AppleShare Privileges

A change has been made to version 4.0.1 to allow certain
AppleShare volumes mounted by At Ease users to use their
AppleShare access privileges instead of having At Ease
mandate additional restrictions.  This change mostly
benefits restricted Finder users, but panels users may also
benefit from this.  Because this change may unknowingly and
adversely affect security at some sites, this feature is
intially OFF in At Ease 4.0.1, and must be activated by the
administrator for every workgroup that he or she wishes to
allow this.

What this feature does is to allow any mounted AppleShare
volume, other than the current workgroup data server volume,
to use the access rights that are given to the AppleShare
user.  If turned on, At Ease will no longer attach read-only
privileges to folders that the user are able to open. 
Additionally, copy restrictions are removed, allowing the
user to copy files to and from the AppleShare volume if
permitted by AppleShare.  At Ease does not (and cannot) give
more access than was set by the AppleShare Administration
program for that logged-in AppleShare user on that server.  
Users are still restricted to applications that are allowed
to be launched on these volumes.

When a user attempts to open or save a document using the
standard open or save file dialog and the feature has been
turned on, the "Places" location will also show any
AppleShare volumes that are mounted.  This permits the user
to open or save to the AppleShare volume; a feature that did
not exist previously.

To activate this feature, the administrator should create or
edit a workgroup and select the Locations pane for that
workgroup.  At the bottom of the pane, select the "Use
existing AppleShare privileges..." checkbox to turn this
feature on.  Administrators may want to make sure that any
AppleShare volumes that they have set to automount (using
the Access To Volumes menu command), use the user's own
names and passwords if security is an issue for that volume.

As mentioned earlier, the workgroup data server volume's
rights do not change when using this feature.  This is
because of security concerns with the Documents folder used
on the server volume.

Other Changes and Enhancements

The following additional changes have been made in At Ease
4.0.1 and are described in detail below. 

Major Changes:

1) Deletions of large numbers of users in the main window of
the administration program has been speeded up. 
Administratiors should note that if you decide not to delete
the user's documents folders (and its contents), then this
will also speed up deletion, regardless of whether or not
the user had any existing documents (i.e., if you want to
make it go the fastest, you should select NO when asked to
delete the user's documents).

2) A problem where CDROM settings shown in the CD-ROM
Preferences menu command in the administration program,
showing information for a different CDROM has been fixed. 
This problem most often showed itself on 7.5.3 or later
machines, and usually running on PPC systems.  If you are
having this problem, you MUST delete your CD-ROM Preferences
file on the server before attempting to add or alter any
CDROMs since the fix cannot repair an already corrupted
file.

3) A crash problem was fixed on At Ease workstations when
entering the Finder (either restricted or non-restrictive). 
 This problem would only occur on pre-7.5 systems that did
not have the Drag Manager extension installed.  Most likely,
you would only see this with system 7.1.2, but it was
possible on other earlier 7.x systems.

4) If there is more than one At Ease server in your
AppleTalk zone, and one of the servers was not set up
properly, there would be a chance that the very first time
you ran the At Ease Administration program on a given system
that it would locate the not-setup machine and not allow you
to administer the other machine. 

5) If, when printing the activity log file, there was one or
more applications that the administration program did not
recognize, the print out (or export) would not include the
signature, even though the screen display would show it
(e.g.,  creator 'chzr').

6) If a user logged into a restricted Finder workgroup that
wasn't using desktop printers (i.e., by using either the
current Chooser selection, or no printers options instead),
but there happen to be desktop printers on the desktop, they
were not removed.

7) Fixed a problem with some routers where the machine would
hang when trying to obtain the zone list.  This normally
occurred only if the local network had multiple AppleTalk
zones.

8) Fixed problems involving removable media with restricted
Finder workgroups.

9) Fixed a problem where workgroup administrators could not
remove items left in the hand in folder's by users in the
restricted Finder environnment.  The administrator can now
delete these items.

10) Fixed a problem when using LaserWriter 8.4 desktop
printers; panels users could change to any desktop printer
in the Print dialog even if the workgroup did not have
access to previously installed prnters.

11) Fixed a printing problem with LaserWriter 300 printers
using PrinterShare.

12) When using the "Copy Internet Preferences" feature, if a
user logs into an unrestricted Finder workgroup, internet
preferences will now be copied back to the server when the
user logs out.

13) Users can no longer access the At Ease Items WG folder
located on the server volume.  This normally only affects
restricted Finder workgroup users that have their workgroup
data server volume set to be the same as the At Ease server
volume.

Minor or Cosmetic Changes:

1) Some dialogs that referred to "floppy disks" that should
have said "removable media" have been changed.

2) Cosmetic change to the administration program's Location
pane when editing a workgroup.  The text that said "Allow
applications to be opened from removable media" has been
changed to say "Allow any applications...." since it was
unclear that this option allowed all applications, not just
applications added to the workgroup, to be opened from
removable media.

3) When importing users in At Ease, a minor problem was
fixed where you could sometimes single click on items in the
Available Fields list to add it to the Imported Fields list.

4) If the minimum password length was greater than seven,
and you edited an existing user in the administration
program, an erroneous alert would be displayed which
required you to re-enter the password again.

5) Removable media volumes (other than floppies) now show a
"floppy" icon instead of a "hard disk" icon in the Eject
disk dialog.

6) The At Ease Administration's Activity Log and Disk Space
windows did not properly track the mouse click in the close
box of the window.

7) On PowerPC machines, the At Ease Administration
application now shows color icons when displaying them in
the Items pane of the workgroup setup.
