How's Mac OS differe from Windows in regard to accounts?

I work with Windows all the time. I was wondering if Mac OS allows different account for each user to log in locally, able to join a domain, and capable of making system image of its OS for restoration if needed. Does Mac OS has something similar to Windows group policy where the admin can control almost anything in that computer?

Users can make backups of their own user account folder (their 'Home' folder in Mac OS X). The system resources are backed up by the Admin user.

The Admin user - or the root user which Admin also has access to - can control everything, yes.

  • Mac interface differs from Windows interface

    Hi!
    For some reason Adobe (like Microsoft for instance) appearently think that when working on a Mac, users are better off with toolbars floating all over the place. In the Windows version on the other hand, Photoshop Elements and its toolbars are shown in one single wondow. Is there any way I can make it look like this on my Mac? Cause I really hate the floating toolbars!
    Hope you can help me

  • How do I share files from Windows Vista to a Mac with Lion OSX?

    How do I share files from Windows Vista to a Mac with Lion OSX?  I'm having SO much trouble with this!  Any help would be appreciated!!!

    In a finder window, under 'shared' you should be able to see the windows computer name, click on it and connect to it. I am assuming here you have sharing turned on and permissions granted on the windows computer.
    Will add a note though, I have frequently accessed files from a PC on the LAN using XP, not vista.

  • Cannot access Mac OS Partition from windows 8 running in boot camp

    So I installed Windows 8.1 Pro through Boot Camp but I can't access the Mac OS partition from windows even though boot camp partition shows up while I'm on Mac OS. I have installed all the drivers from apple but still it didn't work. Then I downloaded Paragon HFS+ which was free for windows 8 and 8.1 thinking that this would solve my problem. The instructions told me to change the drive letter for mac partition from disk management by right clicking the drive pressing "change drive letter and path" button. But the "change drive letter and path" key in grey color and I can't press it. Can somebody please help?

    Class:
    The prototype for an object in an

    class and the behaviour is given by a set of methods
    associated with the class.
