[vet-mm] Managing iMacs on a Windows Network

[Andrew Shortell]

Hi Chris
At our school we have iMacs which authenticate on the windows network
and use the windows home directory and also store on the local machine
and another server(Mac)
So it works fine

Subject: [vet-mm] Managing iMacs on a Windows Network

Hi Folks,

Having made the jump from Windows to a MacBook without looking back, I  
now have 7 iMacs to setup for use by Media students.

Would anyone like to share strategies for managing iMacs in a Windows  
environment?

I imagine I can use Apple Remote Desktop Admin for many tasks such as  
software maintenance, but how do people go about working with Windows  
user accounts? Manually creating accounts which mirror those on  
Windows obviously allows access to shared network resources. But is it  
possible to integrate mac user accounts with Windows accounts, through  
LDAP for example?

Any thoughts gratefully received!

Thanks and cheers
