Graphic designers in Windows Server 2003 AD Domain

Asked by zschramm in Storage Technology, OS-X Server, Windows 2003 Server

The previous question addressed the disk capacity issue nicely and that was appreciated.

What about permissions with 2003 shares for macs.  They use an account to connect to the file share but permissions can be a pain sometime for the novice AD'er.

I like the linux idea for a share, any issues with those shares scaling to substantial traffic over SMB?  Our graphic designer mentions files upwards of 1gb which I find hard to believe just from a practicality standpoint but they would be on gigabit connections.  Only thing I don't like about the linux connection is I want to maintain a redundant copy of the files on a second server and I can do that with windows DFS, how so with linux and windows unless 2 linux machines.  Each server would have software raid 1 for redundancy but I want to make sure if a psu goes down or something they can still function and access files.

I was considering using one of the macs as a repository for files and then having it sync with our windows server nightly for file backup, anyone have a similar situation?
