Best OS Version for AD integration

[greyskull]

Morning all,

 

We are in a situation, where our music/sibelius suite needs a bit of a re-build as it's current set-up of using mobile home directories stored on the OSX server but Authenticated via A/D and syncing on log-on/log-out REALLY isn't working as well as it could.

 

With this in mind; I think we would much prefer to go down the route of using A/D for authentication and also using our Windows File servers for all documents. SO running in a pure network home environment; with the osx server merely used for pushing profiles (or preferably managed preferences Via WGM).

 

We are currently running on 10.6.8 on both the Server and clients; but what I would be interested to know, is whether or not you think later iterations of the OS provide a more stable/reliable experience in the 'Magic Triangle' Set-up. Reason being is that we will have to upgrade our site license of Sibelius if we go to a later Os!

 

Cheeers!

been using macs in school with lion, mountain lion and mavericks and all worked more or less perfectly. If anything mavericks new keychain has proved a pain with AD but nothing an afternoon couldn't sort out.
