AD + OD: now what?

[fuigo]

Dear all, my small company is thinking about using some Macs in the near future to better manage off-site offices, etc and hopefully more Macs in the distant future. We have experimented binding a OD to AD successfully using the awesome paper found on this site. We were able to use Workgroup Manager to control the working environments of the users; however, we couldn’t get the collaborative services to work (wiki, iChat, iCal, etc.)

I was wondering if there’s anywhere I could look for more information on making this stuff work. Thanks!

In case you haven’t seen this document yet, it’s got a lot of good info in it about AD/OD integration.

Thanks for helping out!

My IT department is psyched as it learns each day what wonderful things that Mac OS X Leopard Server could offer right out of the box. There are talks of running a simply OS X server now and using the AD to administer only the task-specific PCs at work!

Is there any obvious downside of running mainly Macs?

It can only be positive
