Okay, but my main question is....will all of those other Mac operating systems simultaneously be able to work with no probs on the domain? I assume we'll have problems on 10.3.9

Hello!<br />
<br />
I'm not an active directory expert, but have setup domains successfully in the past. I have a client that has many clients on....<br />
<br />
Mac OS 10.3.9, 10.4, 10.5. and 10.6<br />
and then they have machines on Windows XP Pro and Win7.<br />
<br />
The client wants authentication for users to login to their OS along with permissions to specific network volumes.<br />
<br />
Is it me or is it absolutely nuts to have so many operating systems trying to do this? I expressed my thoughts that I feel they should have most or everyone on the same platform, but that doesn't appear it'll happen.<br />
<br />
Any thoughts are greatly appreciated!

Hello!

The client wants authentication for users to login to their OS along with permissions to specific network volumes.

Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft brand for identity-related capabilities. In the on-premises world, Windows Server AD provides a set of identity capabilities and services, and is hugely popular (88% of Fortune 1000 and 95% of enterprises use AD). This topic includes all things Active Directory including DNS, Group Policy, DFS, troubleshooting, ADFS, and all other topics under the Microsoft AD and identity umbrella.
