Q: how to join srever osx to windows server 2008

Hi

 

Can any one advise me on the best way to join OS X Server to Windows server 2008 DC.

My ultimate aim is to manage ipads using OS X server by pulling users from Active Directory within Server 2008.

Thanks    

iPad (3rd gen) Wi-Fi, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4)

    You need to join the OS X Server to Active Directory just like any other Mac. This is done usually using Directory Utlity but can also be done via the command line.

     

    Once you have joined it to AD, you then in Server.app switch to showing Network Accounts. These accounts can then be used to authenticate services in Server.app
