I would see incorporating Macs or any other platform into an environment as a challenge. Sure you have to alter a few methods here and there but that's usually the beauty of it unless you've become so complacent that you only have enough patience, time, and motivation to learn and manage Windows. :-) Windows isn't the only technology circulating in the IT field so I'd welcome the Mac integration and move on. If it's that big of a deal create the documentation and pass the work over to a desktop tech. Just don't limit yourself and become that IT guy with the over-inflated ego constantly "bitching" about having too much work. There are plenty of us out here starving who would love to eat off your plate. hmm work; yummy yummy yummy for my tummy tummy tummy! gulp! ahhhhh! burp!

We are a %100 windows shop, no mac experience and with only two of us, we really don't want any more added to our overloaded plates. Other than the cost to train one or both of us, cost for some centralized patching, centralized management, what other reasons can yall recommend we use to prevent this from happening. I don't want to be dishonest with him, but I would hate to see this dumped on us without us presenting all the valid reasons we can come up with. We have a windows 2008 domain and I think you have to turn on some less secure authentication in the domain to allow them to login. Anyone know if that is correct? What about centralized password policies, screen savers, and such? Thanks for any ammo anyone cares to provide. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
