On an SBS 2011 domain, a user brought in a new mac laptop. &nbsp;He wants to access the shares and printers on the server.<br />
<br />
a) is this doable?<br />
b) is there a wizard to join the Mac to the domain?<br />
c) or is it just the need to use the user's credentials in a pop-up box at some point?<br />
d) they want shortcuts to the shares - how would you &nbsp;do that?<br />
<br />
Thanks!
