Macs

[Guest Jeremy Schubert]

I have to add some Macs to my 2003 domain. Where's a good starting point

please. A good website please.

Thanks

Re: Macs

 

You can add them to the network because the network is a physical thing.

You cannot add them to a Windows AD Domain.

Re: Macs

 

OK, so like Win 9x, they can't be members of a domain. But can I enforce my

Mac users to have to logon the Macs using their regular Windows

authentication?

No. Win9x could not join a domain but it was domain "aware" and could

interact with the domain and gain domain functionality in a way that made it

"almost" a domain member. Macs cannot even do that much.

 

The Macs would be more like Linux or some other flavor of Unix where there

just is no centralized login natively. With Linux there were things like

PAM and other attempts to provide better interactivity, but I never saw it

ever really work right and it still required a matching Local user account

in any case.

Almost like OSX is based on BSD, 'eh?

Yep, exactly :-)

But even before they changed the OS architecture it was still a "similar"

situation with OS9 and earlier.
