I am on OSX 10.7.4 VPN: I run the built-in VPN client on my imac into work. Work VPN is an IpSec cisco thing, it does work.
RDP: I assume your client will have to get MS office for mac so use the client that comes with MS office for MAC. OSX and SMB/CIFS interoptibility: the answer is yes. it does work. Just like in windows, all you have to do is, command-K "smb://192.168.0.1" and a list of shares should appear. if this is some sort of shared environment you might want to enable *Access-based Enumeration*. What this does is to only show folders that a user has permission to see, introduced Windows 2003 R2. Caveat: I am not running AD here, just between windows and Mac clients, good old workgroup mode. If the environment is setup OK he should be able to use exchange and the lot. If not setup exchange to run over HTTPS for him? You really want to stop referring to yourself as rtard on the list. It might become the norm otherwise.
