    We got working ADS backend on Windows 2k servers. Our desktop enviroment is 20 windows computers and 10 mac laptops. Current mail server(debian linux) is authenticating against AD via ldap. Now we are replacing that old work horse with something more faster. I was wondering if there is a nice way to Mac OS X server run the mail services and authenticate against AD.

    These are the choices as far I know:
    1) wait for tiger? (Can’t wait much longer due to old server)
    2) schema mods… (No way I am going to touch those ad servers)
    3) drop AD and make nice Open Directory network
    4) do some wierd ldap plugin stuff (how?)
    5) something else?

    “then static map the mail attribute to the string that OSX understands”

    Hi there Mactroll, what do you mean by this?

    I understand the static map thing after playing a bit with the ldap binding, but what do I need to map it to?
