MacOS in a Windows domain - what's your setup?

[d_brennen]

We have approx 15 Macs of various ages in a Windows network and currently use Workgroup Manager for AD/OD login/share mapping/permissions but it's woefully outdated, out of support and Mac server it's running on is having RAID controller issues and will probably bite the dust soon. I'm a Windows guy and know very little about Apple and not sure the best route forward...

All I need is:

Login via AD credentials
Map user shares (all NTFS folders on Windows Server 2012) to mirror the user's Windows experience
Restrict local admin rights on the Macs

It'd be desirable to be able to push software and take snapshots of the machines but not essential.

What's everyone using these days?

Great thanks. I've seen the names but each time I've looked into it, it seems Apple lost all interest in playing nice with Windows domains.

Nomad looks like a good starting point.

Our design department of 10 people are on the network, each user has domain accounts but their Macs are standalone. Gave up after we canned the Xserves years ago.

Reviewed a few choices and the ones posted here, think we're going the same way tbh. The cost/benefit of anything else (including my time) just isn't worth it. Goodbye Apple!
