Active Directory,  Mac OS X Server,  Mass Deployment

Article in MacTech

For those who don’t yet get a subscription to MacTech Magazine, I’ve been a long time lurker and suggest you do the same. I recently submitted an article to them for the Enterprise Desktop Alliance and it will be in the February issue. There’s also one appearing in the March issue. They’re both fairly long and cover the topic of moving specific services off of Mac OS X Server and onto the Windows platform.

I don’t recommend that any organization go out and start ripping out all their Mac OS X Servers because Apple dropped the Xserve. But I am a guy who really likes having a lot of options in front of me. While I’ve published a number of articles here on migrating services to Linux, it makes sense that given the deep Windows chops many environments have with their Windows and Active Directory administrators that many would rather just stick with that. So I hope you enjoy the articles and subscribe to MacTech if you don’t already (btw, MacTech is the only print magazine that I personally subscribe to)!
