But when it isn’t, what do you need to do? The most obvious step is to check that the DNS record responds appropriately. But what about other vendors, and even for Exchange, how do you verify that it’s working correctly? If clients automatically configure then it’s working, obviously. The virtual directory handles Autodiscover requests. You then forward an autodiscover service locater record in DNS in the form of _autodiscover._tcp. There’s an Autodiscover service that gets installed when a Client Access Server (CAS) role is setup for Exchange 2010 in the form of a default virtual directory named Autodiscover for the default Web site in Internet Information Services (IIS). Autodiscover is often made out to be complicated.

These clients include Microsoft Outlook 2007 or Outlook 2010, Outlook for Mac, Mail.app in Mac OS X, iPhone, iPad and ActiveSync enabled phones. Also, if you want to suppress the “welcome experience” in iBooks during deployment:ĭefaults write BKAlreadyDisplayedWelcomeExperience -boolean TRUEįinally, if you’re looking for a key that you can use to verify that a computer has actually logged in with an iTunes account in iBooks (could be helpful for keying off things in scripts or whatever), note that a CachedStorefrontID key (and a couple of other cached keys) is created when iBooks accesses the store or an AppleID for the first time.Īutodiscover automatically configures profile settings for Exchange clients.

Here, I was able to click Migrate from iTunes again (the option in the File menu didn’t work for me) and before you know it, all the titles that didn’t migrate over the first time magically appeared. But what I was looking for is that BKShowDebugMenu keyīKBookshelfViewControllerFilterAction = 5 ĭefaults write BKShowDebugMenu -boolean TRUEĪnd then viola, the next time iBooks opens there’s a nice little Debug menu.

This shows that we can go ahead and deploy a key to suppress the welcome screen (nice little deployment note made there) and a few other things. Wasn’t a ton of info, so went digging for the debug menu that has become a staple of so many Apple apps.

Just got to do my first troubleshooting for the iBooks app in OS X.
