Assimilator

Assimilator is designed for Macintosh lab situations where you want to make all the harddisk's in a lab look almost identical. When the Assimilator program is run on a lab Macintosh it will mount an AppleShare file server and then make the harddisk look more or less exactly like a pre-specified source folder on the server. It does this by throwing away (into the Trash) any files or folders that don't belong or are different and downloading any missing files. Icon positions, folder views, finder flags and so forth are all corrected on the client Macintosh to match the source folder. Although it is designed for student lab situations, it has also proven useful in other circumstances, such as for setting up newly purchased Macs or in testing or demo labs.
