All you need to do for your other devices to find the updates is run Software Update. That's it. Literally. http://help.apple.com/serverapp/mac/4.0/#/apd74DDE89F-08D2-4E0A-A5CD-155E345EFB83 I should stipulate that this is the Caching service. There used to be a Software Update service in older versions of OS X Server (referenced in the above documentation) that was less flexible and more complicated. -Andy _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list MacOSX-talk@omnigroup.com http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
