Thats how we are set up at my employer. We have a graphic department, and a business side. I pretty much leave the Mac's to do their own thing. However there is always a few users that differ from the norm. I did end up running parallels on that Mac so that user could still use the business end of things. The only other reason to join to the domain was so he could use his entourage email client. He preferred not to use the PC side for that. @Christopher.

With the parallels and the new macs that can dual boot, it is much easier to integrate with a windows server. I do think the integration from native mac can be better. It isn't Mac's fault, but I find it better to integrate Windows pc's on a windows network and keep my mac as an independent hardware piece for home or graphic use. Mac has its own network server which is great, but I haven't seen many companies moving to it. I think they are missing some key components that make it a compelling sell to businesses.

Unfortunately a lot of this is beyond me at this point because I'm new to SBS2003/Exchange/ and client-server in general. But Im working on learning what I can. Mostly by trial and error. I'm thinking I should really get some books on them! Thanks for stopping by Robb.

You've hopefully found this out by now but it should be quite possible to have a user's home drive from AD mount on login to a Mac. All we did was ensure it was specified in the AD profile for the user, and made sure that the mac clients were properly registered in the AD DNS and everything just worked. rob Hi there,
