Much to my surprise and contrary to many years of prior stance
to the contrary, a "fast track" project has appeared at $WORK
with a view to "supporting" Mac laptops as an alternative to
the Dell windows systems - certain area, in particular in
engineering, have seen a proliferation of people bringing in
their own systems and I guess there's a sense that the powers
that be would rather provide and support $WORK owned machines
than have a network full of home boxes. Things such as cost
and the like are understood and will be factored in so when
managers sign up for employees to have such machines they will
know the impact on their budget...
The more interesting aspect is what constitutes "support";
the windows guys perspective they wax lyrical about group
policies, imaging systems etc. etc. ... which leads me to
ask whether any of this body have any useful experience in
"managing" such machines. I'm open to pointers to useful
resources, but I'm particularly interested in anyone who is
actually "doing" this at some level.
And offline responses are fine if you don't want to admit
to it in public :)
TIA
Tim
ps. I actually use a MacBook Pro and know it well - I just
haven't spent much time looking at the enterprise
solutions out there and don't have much time to do the
legwork, hence I'm reaching out to the community...
