[vet-it] apple notebooks on a Windows 2003 network

[Ed]

Hello Guy,

Your techies must be somewhat mac-phobic. Here at daylesford we run our 
mac labs from a windows server and 50% of our teacher notebooks are Mac, 
we have no problems with the integration at all. We use 2003 sever 
active directory for  logins and for internet logging and charging (with 
PaperCut).

There seems to be no downside to using Macs on 2003 server (and 
obviously many many plusses)
Again, contact me and I'll pass you to my Techies, both of whom come 
from a PC background and have learned to love Macs.

Ed
