The idea of running a decently sized corporation without AD is a non-starter. Fileshares alone would be unmanageable. I'm not talking a 50 person shop, I'm talking an enterprise with multiple locations and several thousand desktops. As much as I dislike having to use and manage Windows when it comes up, AD is an essential tool.
- raesene6 10y agoIn an enterprise sure you need it for rights management, but then that's not really related to what the client OS is, you can run MacOS or Windows clients largely equally well if you're not using AD to centrally manage them.
- greedo 10y agoWell the OP wasn't talking about running macOS or Windows at home, but in a corporate/business environment.
- raesene6 10y agonor am I :) I'm suggesting that one of the perceived advantages of MacOS is that it's not tied to a heavyweight arduous Active Directory installation and that, in my book, there's not reason not to run Windows in exactly the same manner. My point being, I don't think it's so much a difference between the Operating systems but how they're operated.
