Take the red pill and see how far down the rabbit hole goes...

How to add a Mac OS X to an SBS domain

Image

First of all, I would like to apologize for lack of blog posts recently, things are a little hectic around here and I also have a big (relative terms) SBS rollout in December.

Although, I'm not a Mac person myself many SBSers in the newsgroups have asked numerous times how to integrate them to the SBS lan. Fortunately, the great people behind MS listened and the SBS documentation team blog just released a preliminary document on “Connecting Mac OS X 10.3 and Higher Clients to a Windows Small Business Server 2003 Network“. It looks pretty good to me... kudos to the doc team on getting this out!

Tip-> Remember that if you plan to install Macs in your SBS domain and you haven't installed SBS yet do not use .local for your AD domain name. Instead use .lan, .smb or .whatever. It will make your life easier.

Oh... Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Thanks, Javier! After only a couple of weeks, we are already receiving great feedback from you and many other SBS'ers out there. Keep it coming!

Please note, that this document also provides the workaround to be able to use a .local extension for Mac OS X 10.3.
