What's the alleged business benefit for getting the Mac in your environment?
Just start with that. If they want to do it anyway, add admin training and take advantage of any means to get more experience. If they can come with a business you still win.

We are a %100 windows shop, no mac experience and with only two of us, we really don't want any more added to our overloaded plates. Other than the cost to train one or both of us, cost for some centralized patching, centralized management, what other reasons can yall recommend we use to prevent this from happening. I don't want to be dishonest with him, but I would hate to see this dumped on us without us presenting all the valid reasons we can come up with. We have a windows 2008 domain and I think you have to turn on some less secure authentication in the domain to allow them to login. Anyone know if that is correct? What about centralized password policies, screen savers, and such? Thanks for any ammo anyone cares to provide. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
