Greeting to all.. I am working to find a resource who may be able to assist in the realm of getting our Mac environment more closely managed. I am the technical lead for a company based in San Antonio Texas and we have around 150 Macs in our company. They are mostly for our advertising and printing departments.
Can anyone recommend a resource who can help evaluate our current environment and assist us with getting a handle on centrally managing these machines? The machines are what I would consider lightly managed today by using ARD, however, we would like to take advantage of many of the infrastructures currently in place for PC’s to include DFS, AD, etc..
Company names and/or contacts would be greatly appreciated. National, state or local are all considerable.
I’m wondering if the “lightly managed” Macs are bound to a macintosh server? If they are, that’s a good start. From there, if you are knowledgeable about Mac OS X Server, you can set up a golden triangle where authentication is performed by Active Directory and centralized configuration management is handled by Open Directory.
I’m reviewing another solution from the software vendor Centrify called DirectControl for Mac OS X. DirectControl looks like a promising solution for adding Macintosh computers to Active Directory infrastructure without having to learn Mac OS X Server or implement a golden triangle. Thanks.
