Connecting Macbook to SBS2003 Domain
I have a client with a Windows 2003 SBS domain that has 2 Mac clients that he wants to connect with a VPN to access files remotely. I am a complete Mac virgin. Is there documentation as to how to setup a SBS server to allow connectivity for Macs? Also, how do I allow them to connect Entorage to Exchange 2003?
Thanks.
Thanks.

I just have to redo the Exchange install and add IMAP to the functions?
There's no need to reinstall Exchange. Just enable IMAP on the Exchange server.
Go to services, set IMAP to start automatically and then allow IMAP access for the client account in Exchange Tasks from AD Users + Computers.
Make sure the IMAP virtual server is running ok under the Exchange system manager too.

I just checked with our firewall manufacturer (Safeguard) and they don't have a VPN client that works with Mac. Can I connect from Mac to Windows with PPTP?

There's a 30 day trial but it's limited to 3 minute connections so it literally is a trial - no full featured 30 day thing.
You can create a PPTP VPN connection from Network under System Preferences on the Mac but I've never tried it before to a Windows / Safeguard box.

Thanks for all of the help. One last question. If I just choose to tunnel through the Safeguard box and use may Windows SBS server to do all of the PPTP VPN connections, will Mac connect to a Windows PPTP connection?

As far as connecting them into the domain as far as Ad is concerned, goto Applications, Utilities, Directory Info - you can configure Active Directory integration here - they'll be able to log into their Mac using their AD username / password and avoid authentication to domain resources.
