[QUOTE="people3, post: 1309967, member: 218280"] Hi This may be an age old question but I'll ask it anyway We currently run an all windows setup: Windows 2008 Server Exchange 2007 (outlook clients) Windows xp and windows 7 Desktop Office 2007 (heavy PowerPoint and publisher use) And we have about 100 users across 3 sites A couple of our directors have asked about having Macbooks instead of pc's. If we did get a Macbook running the latest OS, would I need to do anything to my domain \ network to allow the Macbook to connect and authenticate from AD - share and edit files from the network drives (NTFS). I would want users to be authenticated from our 2008 Active directory, and use full microsoft office (for compatibility with other office users) Also how will a Macbook effect load of the exchange and servers (is it the same as a PC) And finally are the any other things that I will need to look out for. Thanks in advance [/QUOTE]
