We were able to get away from the .local domain with a new build of a .corp domain. I have placed only a dozen of Apples on the new domain for testing purposes. (Making sure everything is functioning correctly, before going global with the new domain) and its working great! I do have a few questions about this setup.
1.) I have a Open Directory server that we use for imaging only at this time. What would be its role at this time? What can I use it for and white papers on how to do so? Do I use the OD server for policy for the macs on this new domain or do I use the windows domain controllers to do so?
2.) Now that we are on the new domain, what should I do with it besides placing macs on to it?
3.) Any docs or studies I can look to for comparisons on a setup like this?
4.) What does anyone else do? Lets hear it!
