The Mac's can be set up to authenticate with AD. You will need an Xserve and Apple's Remote Desktop (it's a lot more than MS Remote Desktop) if you want to manage and update them as in deployment of applications, etc. Of course you will need a Windows server to properly manage your Windows clients as well. How many stations are we talking about?

Need some thoughts here. We are speaking with a prospect who will be publishing a magazine. They will be 80% MAC based due to apps but will have some WINTEL systems due to accounting and backoffice apps. Questions: . Should storage on the network be Apple based or WINTEL based? Or do we keep the 2 separate? . Should the 2 environments have their own host servers? We have performed some reading and research and find that networking and such will be ok as IP is IP. What are the groups thoughts? Has anyone come across this? CAR ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~
