    I am currently working on planing out and deploying OSX Server in a new school. This will be our first school with Apple computers. I have played around with setting this up in a test lab and have had a few problems.

    For the school I currently have 1 G5 Xserver, 2 windows 2003 Servers. All servers will be connected to attached storage via a fiber chanel switch. I origonally thought I would use a windows server as the file server. I have however ran into some problems with IMovie and quicktime when running home folders through SMB. I had previousley set up a OD only domin and did not have this problem using AFP.

    What is the best way to set this up with the equipment I have?

    Is there any down side for windows PC’s from using the OSX Server for this?

    Will I need to purchase another XServer to set up the Dir host like in the AFP548 AD/OD Article or can I use just one server for authenication and File services?

    Also, I have read that it is best not to run AD in 2000 Native Mode, What are the issues I should expect to run into from doing this?

    Thank You, JBeams
