A Promising Tool
Authored by: Spencerian on Mar 01, '02 01:14:14PM

I keep an eye out for tools and resources that help integrate Mac OS technologies to Microsoft Windows technologies. Given that corporate IT is driven nearly exclusively by Microsoft Windows server applications, this bit of information is valuable for those whose IT officials have wanted to extend and provide authentication, share mounting, and auditing features to Mac OS systems. Under Mac OS 9, this wasn't very practical or possible, and I'm not a big fan of every MS technology that comes along--I find NetInfo to be less cumbersome that AD. However, this process may help better legitimize Mac OS workstations in corporate environments, not to mention help manage large numbers of Macs easier. I'm glad it doesn't replace Apple's technologies but simply complements it without corrupting either process.
