I look after 250+ macs across 8 advertising companies across 3 countries.
All of them are bound to our AD & use MS Exchange for e-mail. All users login with their AD credentials, map network drives & login & have screen savers etc enforced.
Our environment is 80/20 in favour of PC's, but on a day to day basis the mac users happily work along side the PC users.
We use JAMF Softwares Casper Suite to manage our Macs via policies (incl. application updates) & we're fully SOX compliant.
They can be a great asset to any environment, but if you want just the office suite a PC is the better option.
However, as day to day working becomes more media rich.. the macs are becoming more prominent.
We've very few applications that require windows only, but in those cases there's options like Citrix, CrossOver or a full VM solution that can help too.
So with little research, they can work.
I've been doing IT support for around 8 years, with integrating Macs into windows environments being a speciality.
Have a look at the following for starters:
Mac AD Intergration (Magic Triangle) (http://www.afp548.com/article.php?story=20040915152755925&query=AD%2Bintegration)
Casper Suite (http://jamfsoftware.com/products/casper-suite)
Enterprise Desktop Alliance (http://enterprisedesktopalliance.com/)

So get the insurance for peace of mind. I'm sure you've spent more than $9 on worse things before. If you pack it well enough, technically you won't need it, but there's always the chance of loss/theft. Even that can't be prevented by good packaging.

It needs offline maps. Without that, it's pointless on an iPod Touch, or any WiFi-only device. If I could save just one city at a time: say I'm going to London, and I will need a map of London all day, then I could save a given radius of a London map and it would be handy.
What I do now is take screenshots of maps while I still have WiFi, but that's totally annoying to do.

I am trying to attach a photo to an email and all of a sudden, the window is too big and I am unable to make it smaller OR choose the pic. I am able to get the photo but on the bottom, where it says cancel or 'choose' or is it 'open', I can't see that part.
I know this is super easy n whoever is reading this is probably giggling to themselves, 'this girl hasn't learned a damn thing'.....I'm trying folks, I'm trying.
I appreciate your help, as always!!

I wrote that, so I'm sure I'm the one who misspelled NEW. It should say NEW themes, not NEWS themes. If you get a chance to fix it, you can remove my post too :)

So competition with Verizon having the iPhone = price increase??? How does that make any sense??
You know they only compete to see who can charge more, right?

The Post Your Mac Set-up thread has all the links to the previous threads.. How about we do the same for here? Just incase you want it. It's interesting to see the desktops throughout the years. I'm such a geek.
Man, Mac OS looked horrible back then. Even below 10.4:eek:

I thought the same thing until I watched the streaming keynote video. MacRumors really ruined my day by misquoting Steve. I was super hyped all morning about hearing a lot about the Mac, but Steve actually said (and I'm partially paraphrasing):
"2007 is gonna be a great year for the mac, but that's all we're gonna say about it today. over the next several months we're gonna be rolling out some awesome new stuff for the mac... but for today we're gonna move on"
Had MacRumors taken the time to get that one tiny bit of information right in their live text feed, I wouldn't have been nearly as upset about the whole thing as I was. They built my hopes up very high with that remark and it really ticked me off.
I, too, kept waiting for him to move on to software or something Mac-related. That error in the text feed made my disappointment even worse.

Hey guys,
I originally bought an mbox mini and upgraded to Pro Tools 7.4.2.
In my account on digidesign (Avid Audio)'s website I can download various installer packages and the authorisation codes. However it only goes up to Tiger, and Leopard.
I was wondering , if I upgrade to Snow Leopard. . .does the 7.4.2 version of Pro Tools LE for Leopard run on SL?
Thanks a lot :)

Unfortunately, facts do not matter to these people, as most IT departments are clueless about TCO.
Actually most IT managers/departments are very informed about TCO, which is why they don't shell out the money for hardware that is 2x as expensive, software that is 4x as expensive (due to miserable volume licensing plans for OS X), the cost of training support and logistics personnel to support Macs/OS X, and the amount of time it will take to retrain users to use the new hard/software.
Ironically, most people who make statements such as yours either aren't in IT or have a very unrealistic view of the world.
I would really like some good arguments to put to him regarding why mac's should be allowed on our company network and should form part of our IT systems.
When you write your proposal, consider using proper English grammar. "Macs" as in "a number of computers made by Apple" does not, notice, have an apostrophe.
The basic fact of the matter is that large, established Windows-based network infrastructures have no incentive at all to switch to Apple machines.
Enterprise-support from the manufacturer (Apple)? HUGE fail.
Seriously. This is what guarantees Dell's, HP's, and RIM's complete dominance of the enterprise market. Who would have guessed that when your central business functions depend on your hardware being "up" it doesn't cut it to have to bring a unit into an Apple Store?
