Managing Macs in Your Windows Environment

Have various workers in your company been showing up with questions about Macs? The odds of having a homogeneous network today are very unlikely. Macs are becoming increasingly popular and chances are if you don't already have some on your network, soon you will. 

Don't consider this a burden. This actually creates a fantastic opportunity for you as an IT professional. Instead of being an administrator who says "I don't do Mac," you can be the IT guy who can do whatever the organization needs—whether it be supporting Macs or Windows PCs. And this will greatly increase your value to the organization.

And best of all, the current Mac client is fairly easy to support and is surprisingly similar to the Windows computers you are already familiar with.

In the December issue of TechNet Magazine, which focuses on InterOp, Don Jones gives a crash course in managing Macs. Learn how to set up a Mac on your network, troubleshoot network problems, share files and folders among Macs and Windows-based systems, and configure Macs to use use network printers.
