Join a MAC to windows Domain - What needs to happen?

Hello,

I have a MAC running OS 10.6 and I need to get it connected to my Windows domain.

What needs to be done on the Windows side to allow that device to connect.  I have read different things in different places.

Some say you have to instlal Mac services on the server, but that appears to only relate to 10.2 or older and that maybe 10.3 and above has a built in connector?

Just trying to find one straight answer.

Thank you!

This appears to be an old doc referencing server 2003 and older mac services.  Does not really seem to apply to the newer OS's.  Icons and things are not in the same places...

As a afterthought if you manage a large number of macs within your organisation ( i dont believe you do, but it makes for interesting reading) you can either buy a OSX server to allow you to use managed preferences (like AD group policies) or use something like http://www.centrify.com/directcontrol/mac_os_x.asp which allows management and control of OSX machines from AD.
