Not sure if this should be in networking or here. So thought I would try this forum since it does have to do with Windoze.
We need some help.
We have 30+ imacs and running 10.7 and, we also have a few running 10.6 even a few still at 10.5. Networking the bunch running 10.7 is our primary concern.
Someone in our organization has bought us a server, about the only input we have have on this wonderful gift to our school is a choice of operating system we have a choice of Windows 2003 R2 server or 2008 R2.
The only thing this Windows server will be used for is a file server. Imacs will >go to server, mount the share and students will save their data to their folder on the server. That’s it. We are leaning toward 2003 R2 as we’ve heard that 2008 doesn’t talk to apple anymore. Can someone weigh in on this and provide us with some direction.
thanks
