Charles Edge, Zack Smith, and Beau Hunter provide detailed
explanations of the technology required for large-scale Mac OS X
deployments and show you how to integrate it with other operating
systems and applications.
Enterprise Mac Administrator's Guide addresses the growing size and
spread of Mac OS X deployments in corporations and institutions
worldwide. In some cases, this is due to the growth of traditional Mac
environments, but for the most part it has to do with "switcher"
campaigns, where Windows and/or Linux environments are migrating to Mac
OS X. However, there is a steep culture shock with these types of
migrations. The products that are used are different, the nomenclature
is different, and most importantly the best practices for dealing with
the operating system are different.
Apple provides a number of tools to help automate and guide IT toward
managing a large number of Mac OS X computers--it has since before Mac
OS X was initially released. However, if you want to put together all of
the pieces to tell a compelling story about how to run an IT department
or a deployment of Macs, you need to compile information from a number
of different sources. This book will provide explanations of the
technology required.

- Complete guide for integrating Macs and Mac OS X into mixed
environments with confidence and no down time
