Will an Apple Mac work on NT4 network?

That's the general question. I have been asked if a Mac will operate properly on an NT4 network. By 'work', I mean connect up properly to the print facilities, for example. Also, if connected, will there be any problem connecting to the Internet? The network connects through a router.

If I haven't given enough info, please let me know.

Thanks everyone,

Tim

With OS-X jagurar everything should work fine as it supports roaming profiles etc..., Printing will be the biggest issue, but the next release 10.3 (panther) is supposed to fix all that. The new version will also work with an exchange server, so i would recommend panther when it is released for an NT environment.


edit: that M$ article is for older OS-9 mac's that use appletalk. Newer OS-X mac's use tcpip, cups and smb so may not relate to your issue depanding on the mac's OS.

OS-X is a Unix OS, so if you think you could integrate Unix/Linux boxes then you can integrate an OS-X mac.
