[Offtopic] Mac and PC living in harmony

[Alan Oh]

Hi all,

I would like to know if there are schools out there which have both Mac and PC computer labs. If so (and I am sure there are), what does it take to have them running smoothly.

(Background). We are primarily a Windows school, running Windows Servers 2008 R2. We have several PC computer labs. One of the labs is coming up for renewal and one of the options was to replace it with Macs with a new primary school curriculum.

Do I need to have a Mac server? What can I use for imaging the 30 iMacs? Authentication on the network? More questions which I haven't thought of yet.

Basically, what do I need to arm myself with to manage both camps?

Thanks for listening to the ramblings.





Best Regards,

Alan Oh
