Title: [ActiveDir] DFS Client for Mac and UNIX

Thanks AL,   I would prefer a turn key solution.  It looks like ADminMac might be the answer for the MAC users.   http://www.thursby.com/products/admitmac.html  Dave is more client driven utility.   I was planning on contacting Certify about this once I pinged this community. To verify what my research has found out on the LINUX / UNIX site.   Thanks for the feedback,   Todd   From: Al Mulnick [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 14, 2005 8:37 AM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] DFS Client for Mac and UNIX   I believe the best way currently is with the samba client for *nix variants including the Mac.  Been a while though, so that could have changed a bit more.  They did have plans to work on the cifs client, but haven't seen much about that.   You may also want to check with these guys www.centrify.com to see if they offer anything with DFS.  They're goal is to allow you to add a *nix variant to the AD infrastructure in such a way as to make it seemless to logon, administer etc.  I haven't tested anything with DFS with this product though.  Might be worth it to at least drop a note to see if they can be helpful here.    Possibly this one for Mac users (if the above doesn't help) http://www.thursby.com/products/dave.html      My $0.04 anyway.    Al   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Myrick, Todd (NIH/CC/DNA) Sent: Thu 7/14/2005 6:50 AM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: [ActiveDir] DFS Client for Mac and UNIX Hey All, Been a while... Got a problem. I am being tasked to work on an automated provisioning system for network resources.  Obviously AD will be the security provider HUB.  I would also like to be able to use DFS as the HUB for access to shared network data. The problem is that we have a large contingency of Mac's and possibly some Linux / UNIX.  I have been searching, and it looks like it might be possible to use SAMBA as a DFS client. Does anyone here have any experience or suggestions on how best to allow alternative clients access to DFS shares?
