Case-Sensitive Formatted Mac

We have one of our founders that has always managed his own machine but will so becoming under regular management like everyone else. He always sets his machines up with formatting the drive as Case-Sensitive. Does anyone know of anything with Casper that may break or not work because of this? Haven't done any testing yet but want to know going into it if there is anything I should be looking for.

It's been a while but older version of Symantec software didn't work... I think even older Adobe software had issues...

I will tell you that if you ever have to move off Case-Sensitive, you are going to have issue copying the data as we have seen many cases of files with the "same" name stoping the copy...

Hi Dennis,

We had a problem with Acrobat Pro X,

Although the installation went fine and we could view pdf files, the comments and edit features didn't work.

To correct I used cccloner to clone the disk as a disk image and then reformatted the disk with no Case-Sensitivity. I then restored the disk image back.

Regards,

David
