Moved from GCC...............this is certainly a computer related post that covers a number of aspects like hardware, OS, networks, security...........?
I guess the big question is, will this work or should we be shutting the 1to1 program down before it becomes the majority appliance for students and teachers? Apple sold the executive staff with some flashy approaches and ultimately empty promises on the success of rolling Macbooks out into the school.
Yes!............Apple must not be permitted to buy their way into education systems.

Thanks John good to hear from you - and I fully agree.
I am in the middle of a document covering Mac Vs PC 1to1 so I will post it here for you guys to have a look as I do with most of my original work Stay tuned and hopefully you will all enjoy the comparison.

We have integrated our Open and Active Directory environments. We use AD for all authentication, and GPOs for managing the PCs, while using OD to manage the Macs. It is working pretty well so far, although on occasion a Mac will unbind itself... and we have some issues with forcing password resets/expirations. We still haven't quite nailed down printing, as it asks for authentication anytime they try to print through the Windows print server, but we can push printers out to the Macs using the printer's IP.

I'm no guru, but that sounds like me strugglin' with xp, vista and 7 trying to all access an HPfailprinter through network...if u go strictly mac, ur'e pretty much golden, especially with the eventual growth u assume, op. don't expect anyone to learn much, tho.
Every now and then, one of you won't annoy me.

Thanks guys - am enjoying the feedback
Currently the Mac labs are bound to OD and AD, as well as the OD server (X server) being bound to AD. Search path for iMacs (clients) is AD then OD.
Authentication, mapping and user storage is done via windows services, using applescript to do most of the mapping of network drives. Running to two environments side by side is essentially the current situation, except I have had too many inconsistencies with OD/workgroup manager and the policies they are meant to apply/restrict access to preferences etc. It is very flaky.
Besides that the X Server has no function, and due to the nature of the workgroup manager "policies" if the server were to crash tomorrow or be unplugged there would be zero impact.
