ADmitMac 5.0 Mac
ADmitMac is designed to allow Macintosh systems to function as a fully compliant Windows Active Directory client. ADmitMac is developed to allow single sign-on access to files and printers in multi-user, multi-computer environments with administrator-defined security.
New to ADmitMac version 5
- Snow Leopard Support - Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6) is supported by ADmitMac version 5. This new version also works with Leopard (10.5).
- Windows Group Policy Support - Windows administrators can now manage Macintosh operating system components and applications in Active Directory. Using Windows Group Policy and ADmitMac’s new ADM plugins, Macintosh settings are now available in the Group Policy Management console. Administrators can manage their domain users in a consistent way – regardless of whether they use a PC or a Mac. And ADmitMac requires no Active Directory schema changes.
- 64-bit Support - ADmitMac has been enhanced with 64-bit support and operates in multi-thread, multi-processor environment under Snow Leopard.
Additional Unique Capabilities
- DFS - The only Macintosh Active Directory client to support Microsoft’s Distributed File System (DFS).
- Network Home Folder support - And, since ADmitMac supports Microsoft’s Distributed File System (DFS), files and home directories can reside on any authorized, accessible network volume.
- Security - ADmitMac works with domains configured using Microsoft’s Highly Secure (HISEC) security templates. No need to downgrade your server security to allow Macintosh systems running ADmitMac on the network.
- Mobile Accounts - Supports mobile accounts. ADmitMac caches successful user login information, allowing notebook users to login using their domain account while disconnected from the network.
- Workgroup Manager - Still supports Apple Workgroup Manger for client management for installations using that approach to manage their Macs.
- AFP Shares - ADmitMac installed on a Macintosh server will allow ADmitMac users to access AFP shares using their domain account.
- No Additional Windows Software Required - ADmitMac does not require additional software to be installed on Windows servers or workstations.
- No Schema Changes - ADmitMac does not require any Active Directory schema changes.
Domain Service Requirements
- Microsoft Server 2008 or 2003 with Active Directory
- Microsoft Windows 2000 with Active Directory
- Microsoft NT Server 4.0 Service Pack 6
