OS X has more familiar administrative tools

An article in Network World says that : "Macintosh servers and workstations might no longer be the black sheeps of network and systems management. The reason, IT executives say, is that a new version of Apple's Unix-based operating system - Macintosh OS X 10.2 - is giving them the long-sought-after tools to bring these machines into the management nuclear family."

    Mail and MS Exchange Serv

    According to the article, the author said one of the advantages to OSX is a better "POP" mail client, and that it's easier to access MS Exchange Servers. (described in the chart)

    Has anyone got Mail.app to work with a MS Exhange server? If so, how did you do it?

    Thanks
    -Kevin

    no kidding

    What, you mean OS X is actually good at networking? Seriously here, has anyone actually tried to administer Windows networks? If Apple gets smart and starts making cheaper, faster hardware, OS X and NetBoot will change the face of academic and corporate networks...

    exchange and mail.app

    just turn on imap on your exchange server and configure it. this is not difficult. you don't get any of the calendaring, notes, journal, etc. but it will do fine for storing your mail on the server.

    i think you can also have exchange provide its global address list in LDAP so that you can use it as well.

    what a horrible article

    Am I the only person who noticed that the article was written by someone who didn't know what he was talking about? "POP access for better MS Exchange support"?!? Umm, OS 9 shipped with POP clients (MS Outlook Express and Netscape Communicator) for quite a while, this is nothing new. And POP access is not really great Exchange support anyway.

    And then the claims that journaling file systems allow larger files and higher performance... well, umm, no. File size is a limitation of the file system, regardless of whether it's journaled or not. Journaling has not changed HFS+'s maximum file size either way. As for performance, journaling typically reduces performance! (But generally, said performance loss is considered an acceptable tradeoff for the increased data security.)
