Join AD server to existing OD for Windows management.

[emil holt]

I’m in the processes of helping a client who (regrettably) is being forced to deploy a growing number of Windows machines and because of this is in need of Active Directory.
We already have an Open Directory environment (10.6.2 Master + Slave) for managing Mac clients, file services and authentication for Macs and PCs.

Now I wonder how to integrate a new AD server (Windows Server 2008 Std) to an existing OD?
Ie the opposite of the normal approach of connecting an OD Master to an existing AD.

Has anyone done this? Is it even possible? Where do I start? 🙂

I’ve looked around a bit on the web but haven’t really found anything so any input is appreciated.

TIA
