You probably won't find much help on this list for issues with MacOS X unless 
it is somehow directly related to a windows server... What are you using as 
your VPN on the server end?

I used to be a big defender of Mac OS X on this list... Apple appeared to be 
making great strides in the enterprise features starting in 10.3 all the way to 
10.6... but 10.7 (and now 10.8) are all reverting back to less-useful states 
for the enterprise desktop. Basically, they are slowly turning the desktops 
into iPads, and I don't like that. Eventually I would guess that they drop the 
entire desktop OS and run everything on iPads... And as this is the current 
trend, I can't recommend Mac OS X anymore.

Sadly, Microsoft might be trying to do the same thing with Windows. (See: 
Windows 8 RT) Let's hope not.

If you still need help, I recommend the Mac Enterprise mailing list:
