Utilities Updates: Macintosh Manager; CarbonLib SDK; SwitchBack; ICQ; more

Apple Macintosh Manager 2.0.1 is Apple's workstation management technology, providing education network administrators with a centralized method of securing Mac OS workstations, controlling student software access, and providing a consistent, personalized experience for students and staff. AppleShare Client allows client computers to connect to the server. A version of AppleShare Client is installed by default when you install Macintosh Manager 2.0.1. The update fixes an issue where the workstation would hang while trying to synchronize files in the backpack folder during check in.

Apple Network Assistant 4.0.3 includes only the Network Assistant Startup extension. It is needed only for workstations that have a previous version of the Assistant already installed.
