So upper, non-IT management has decided to dump our 10.4 server and going for Microsoft everything on the server.
We currently have about 40 desktops, 5 of which are running 10.4.9 and the rest XP. I really don’t want our Macs to become 2nd class citizens on this network and also don’t want my Mac users nor myself to have to jump through a lot of hoops. What I’d like to do is find something that’s going to bind them to AD and allow me to manage their MCX settings just as though I were managing the XPs. Resource forks are also a concern since we still get a lot of older Quark files from clients and Type1 fonts.
I’m starting to read through the ADmitMac, ExtremeZ-IP, and Centrify stuff but am a bit confused as to which is going to offer me everything that I’m looking for. Any recommendations? Caveats? Things that I should be aware of?
Thanks.
