Best-selling author Guy Hart-Davis teaches network professionals how to integrate Macs effectively in Windows networks.

These days, almost every network has one or more Macs attached to it—from small offices to Fortune 500 companies, from nonprofits to headline financial firms. Historically, Macs have been essential for high-end graphic and multimedia work (such as web and graphic design, audio/video editing, and publishing), but Apple’s sleek hardware, stable Mac OS X operating system, and persuasive advertising are spreading Macs rapidly among knowledge workers and standard users as well. Microsoft Office for the Mac includes the Outlook-equivalent application Entourage as well as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Virtualization enables Mac users to run vital Windows programs for which there is no Mac version seamlessly within Mac OS X.

As a result, in even the most Windows-centric company, system administrators must add Macs to their network, set them up to work with Windows servers, and keep them updated.

Integrating Macs in Windows Networks is a task-based, hands-on implementation guide to adding Macs to existing Windows networks. Based on the newest release of Mac OS X, Snow Leopard, the book shows Windows administrators how to connect Macs to the network, install and update essential applications, and how to provide the networking services the Mac users need—up to and including remote access to the network or to networked Macs.

Integrating Macs into Windows Networks shows you how to provide Mac users with mission-critical access. Select suitable machines, develop rollout plans, work with Active Directory, connect to network hardware, and regulate Internet activity. Microsoft Exchange support, software installation, and Mac-specific security techniques are also covered in this practical guide.

• Connect Macs to PC networks via Ethernet, AirPort, and Firewire
• Manage Mac clients through Active Directory and Mac OS X Server
• Handle security with proxy servers, firewalls, and AV software
• Configure shared folders, file services, and network printers
• Run Windows applications on Macs using Boot Camp and VMs
• Seamlessly merge Mac Mail and iCal with Microsoft Exchange
• Modify Windows VPNs to accept remote Mac connections
• Back up and restore data with Time Machine and third party utilities

Endorsement

“Guy Hart-Davis has put together a thorough, detailed guide to making your Macs work more smoothly and completely in your Windows environment. His step-by-step instructions and attention to the ‘gotchas’ will be appreciated by any administrator who has struggled to integrate Macs more thoroughly. This is a book that is long overdue, and should be on the shelf of any administrator working in a heterogeneous environment.” —Don Jones, Senior Partner and Principal Technologist, Concentrated Technology; Contributing Editor, Redmond Magazine and TechNet Magazine
