Options for integrating Mac OS X clients with AD
- Billy's instructions on joining domain... Joining Macs to WolfTech Domain
With the included Active Directory plug-in, OS X can be configured to authenticate to an AD domain, and use network home directories. More comprehensive management (MCX) requires one of the 3 options below:
- Extending the AD schema Adding 38 attributes and 10 classes to the AD schema.
- Dual directory Adding an Open Directory domain running on a Mac OS X Server, also known as a "Magic Triangle" configuration
- Third-party solutions Options include Thursby's ADmitMac or Centrify DirectControl.
Additional resources:
Issues to address:
- Configuring your mac to use your UnityID/paswd (specifically, by authing against the DCs, but alternatively against the campus KDC). Plus how the laptop reacts when not on the network - should be caching.
- Adding your Mac to the domain.
- Restricting access to AD defined users.
- Printing from your domain'd mac to a Windows print server; and to a WolfCopy printer.
- ksmbprintd v1.0 (http://www.deploystudio.com/News/Entries/2008/4/7_ksmbprintd_v1.0.html / http://www.deploystudio.com/Downloads/ksmbprintd_v1.0.dmg) -- courtesy of Everette, needs to be tested.
- Accessing Windows file shares from your domain mac
- Why DFS doesn't work, or if the new OS fixes this. And steps to get around this (3rd party apps - AdmitMac) or things to look out for).
- Options to apply policies to the mac client via GP? (likely to require 3rd party apps)
- Scripts to inventory hardware/applications on your mac clients (longterm we'd want a WolfTech Collector Agent for Macs)
- AFS client for Macs
- Software distribution to Mac via GP?
