I'm not familiar with 10.7, so things may have changed... but 10.6 has a few programs in /Applications/Server. Start with "Server Admin" (Think "Windows Add/Remove Features") and enable Open Directory. Then you can get into "Workgroup Manager" (Think "Active Directory Users and Computers/Group Policy Manager") and start modifying settings. Have your Mac clients join the OD server (Do this in System Preferences -> Accounts -> Login Options -> Network Account Server). You can have them join the Active Directory server at this point as well. The clients need to be members of the OD in order to get managed settings, just as a windows client needs to be a member of AD to get it's group policies. --Matt Ross Ephrata School District ----- Original Message ----- From: David Lum [mailto:[email protected]] To: NT System Admin Issues [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thu, 03 Nov 2011 07:25:52 -0700 Subject: RE: So, my Mac Mini server arrived today... > Right now...not a damn thing, I need to figure out how to make it find the > non-domain joined 9or heck, domain joined for that matter) Mac's so I can > start going "Big Brother" on them. > > From: Mark Boeck [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Thursday, November 03, 2011 7:08 AM > To: NT System Admin Issues > Subject: Re: So, my Mac Mini server arrived today... > > LOL at the manual! > > What do you serve up with this thing?
