What tool are you using to manage Macs in an Active Directory environment a=
nd what sort of management are you doing? Have you successfully linked Prof=
ile Manager to domain users and groups?
We are currently evaluating options for more fully integrating Macs into ou=
r Active Directory environment. Our main interests are pushing drive mappin=
gs and printers (from our Windows print server) based on computers and grou=
ps of computers (e.g. labs), domain users, and domain groups. We use and ar=
e happy with ARD for remote management and software deployment, and deploys=
tudio for imaging.
Our clients are all running OS X 10.7, and we are currently evaluating Mana=
ged Preferences (both via the AD/OD "Golden Triangle" and AD schema extensi=
ons) and the new Profile Manager in OS X 10.7 server. We are mostly focused=
on Profile Manager as we are interested in the mobile device management ca=
pabilities as well, but have run into difficulty using Profile Manager to m=
anage preferences based on domain users and groups.
