HI,<br />
<br />
1) I am used to with the Microsoft Window<br />
2) I am not familiar with the Macintosh OS<br />
3) I saw some MacBoox (The OS is Mac OS X 10.6.8) at a company (production environment)<br />
4) It is at the Active Directory's environment<br />
- The Domain is &quot;Boba.com&quot;<br />
<br />
5) My questions:<br />
-What do usually the above MacBoox do? <br />
- From Where do they get the IP address? (Is it from DHCP server or we have to assign or reserve them the IP address? Note: this is related to the &quot;routine treatment&quot;; for example, for Windows XP workstation, the IP address are usually from DHCP server?)<br />
- Please tell a little bit the functions of Mac machine in a company<br />
<br />
6) Thanks<br />

Macintosh: Workstation

Mac OS X is the desktop operating system from Apple Inc., found on Macintosh computers. OS X consists of a Mach/BSD-based kernel, operating system interfaces primarily based on FreeBSD and additional frameworks (written in C, C++ and Objective-C providing user interface and application-level services.

Mac OS X

Apple's early computers ran on a variety of operating systems, including a Pascal version and one based on CP/M, before releasing its ProDOS with the advent of its 16-bit computer. With the release of the Lisa, which had its own OS, Apple and computing entered the graphical age; it was followed by the Macintosh, which offered a series of "System" operating systems. Other Mac operating systems included PowerPC until Apple acquired NeXT and folded it into the Mac OS. Current operating systems for Apple devices are Mac OS-X and iOS.

Apple OS

Apple devices including Macs, iPhones, iPods and iPad support standard wired and wireless networking technologies, but they also utilize custom applications and some special techniques for networking with each other and with non-Apple devices. Apple manufacturers the AirPort line of wireless networking products, and has its own networking protocols, AppleTalk and AFP (Apple Filing Protocol).
