I am getting a "To open “Final Cut Server,” you need to download the Java Runtime Environment for Web Start applications" error although Java 6 and 7 have already been installed and the app launches and runs fine as a local administrator. (but not as a managed standard account it seems) I am not sure if this is a ByHost issue or is it possible use a policy to resolve the issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The Final Cut Server client will not run with Java 7. On our machines if someone installs Java 7 and needs to run the Final Cut Server client we either follow Apple KB ( http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5559?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US ) or just re-image their machine.
You also need to make sure that Java Webstart is enabled for all users. We use Rich Trouton's script to make sure it is enabled for each user when they log in ( https://github.com/rtrouton/rtrouton_scripts/tree/master/rtrouton_scripts/enable_java_web_plugins_at_login).
Hope that helps.

Any ideas on exactly what happens on after 1st Feb 2013 - when the Java-6 certificate expires ?
I am wondering if Final Cut Server will simply stop working at that point ?

Hmm, seems I can find the 1.6.0_37 installer but not the 1.6.0_35 that apparently is the last known good one for Final Cut Server. The Java console is missing when I installed the _37 update from Apple (Java 2012-006)

OK finally got Java 1.6.0_37 to work by copying over the Java Preferences app after running the apple commands, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5559?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US (this equipment is new JP app was never installed previously) from a working machine and enabling Web Start that way. When I get a minute to tweak the script, I will test and install it later. Just wanted to offer this up for others who are struggling like I did for the last 2 days.. oh what fun... ;)
