No Workgroup Manager for 10.10 Yosemite Server ?

WGM is not distributed with Server anymore, and hasn't been for some time (since Lion?)

However, it's still possible to download it, and old versions still work with Yoseimite (at least, it works for me). It may well be that some functionality has been lost, but as far as I know, the approved way to handle Home directories now is with the profile manager.

Hi Kevin

It is still working for me

I'm running

• OSX 10.10.1
• Server 4
• Work Group Manager 10.9

Still have short names

You can download latest version of Work Group Manager from:

Hi Pindar,

Thank you for your helpful link as it allowed me to download Workgroup Manager however, when trying to install it::

This version check flaw prevents installing this app on 10.10.1 (and higher) Perhaps this is easily fixed on Apple's end and reposted? How do we get that going?

I also got the same install fail message although I was expecting it.

The information I recall reading is that Workgroup Manager is not supported for use on Yosemite and hence also not supported on a Yosemite/Server 4.x Mac. However it is I believe supported on a Mavericks client connected to a Yosemite/Server 4.x machine.

It might be possible to either drag it in to the Applications folder on a Yosemite machine or have it on a Mavericks machine later upgraded to Yosemite but I would interpret these as also being unsupported configurations.

I would not expect a newer version of Workgroup Manager to be released.

Try installing Workgroup Manager 10.9 onto a Yosemite 10.10 base and if that then works upgrade to 10.10.1, rather than trying to install straight onto 10.10.1.

My experience is that it works fine to install on a 10.9 machine and continues to work fine if the machine is upgraded to 10.10.2. WGM also works fine against a 10.10.2 + Server 4.0.3 server.

Thanks theFerret

Useful to know.

Might attempt to upgrade now 😉

just download the mavericks wgm file and extracted the application with pacifist. then drag it in the application folder. works like before....
