I can't answer your question but I can direct you to the Mac mailing lists hosted by Apple. http://lists.apple.com/mailman/listinfo
The Macos-x-server list is quite active: http://lists.apple.com/mailman/listinfo/macos-x-server The Interoperability list has virtually no traffic, unfortunately: http://lists.apple.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-interop Good luck! -----Original Message----- From: Shawn [mailto:sh...@loprestohome.com] Sent: Tuesday, July 14, 2009 10:01 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Apple vs Microsoft? Does anyone here have any experience, good or bad, regarding the Apple XSERVE being utilized to host email, data storage, open directory, etc as an equivalent replacement for Microsoft Server? We are currently running SBS 2003 and have 40 users, but will soon be upping that number to 150. My boss insists that moving everything over to a Mac environment will be a better long term move, but I am a bit hesitant without having some outside data to back that up. I have been told that 150 users can be better managed on two XSERVE's than on a Windows Active directory network, yet I have had a rough time finding any direct comparisons. If any of you have experience running either a mixed environment with both OS X Server and Windows Server or just a pure OS X environment w/ Mac clients as well, I would be interested to hear what your take on this is. I would also be very interested to here from anyone that has done a migration from Active directory to Open directory, along with any challenges on the user end. What challenges did you face? Are there any specifics that you can offer regarding stability, administration, etc? Thanks in advance for any input you can provide.
