How to join windows 7 client to mac osx 10.6 domain controller ?

Hello,
I m IT support in school in france, and the network is an heterogen mix between mac os and windows 7 clients.
The server is under OSx 10.6 and i don t find a workaround/walkthrough to join my windows clients to the domain controller.
Any solution ?
An upgrade of samba engine can resolve this issue ? If it can be, how to do this ?
Thanks and excuse me for my poor english...

I'm not aware of any particular tie-in between Windows 7 and Domain Controller and Samba and OS X Server Open Directory LDAP Services.
Samba did provide limited Domain Controller capabilities and can use Domain Authentication, but the Apple installation from 10.6 is an old release and I've had some problems getting that older stuff to work. You'll likely have to hand-manage Samba to get this to work, by following the directions at the Samba.org web site, too.
The best resource I've encountered for digging around in this topic area is the archives of the Mac Enterprise mailing list.
FWIW, Microsoft has (migrated from? abandoned? deprecated?) Domain Controller authentication in favor of Active Directory some years ago, and Apple has abandoned Samba in more recent releases; this is a dead end. If you are using Windows Server and Active Directory, then OS X Server can be configured in what's called a Magic Triangle configuration; where you have Windows handling Windows authentication, and OS X Server handling OS X authentication, and coordinating across the two. Or (with newer OS X releases) Apple has improved integration with Active Directory.

How to install windows support software without mac OSX install cd?

I want to install windows 7 on my macbook pro 10.6.8 via bootcamp. I have a windows 7 install cd and I havn't got past the stage of installing the windows support software. I lost my mac osx install cd a long time ago so I can't install the software that way, but if i try and download the support software from bootcamp, I keep getting a notification that the windows support software is unavailable. What should I do?

Call Apple for replacement disks. The Boot Camp drivers for OSX 10.6 and earlier were not available as a download. Or upgrade to Lion, which you do download the Boot Camp 4 drivers.

Has anyone tried REAL VNC client for Mac OSX? Is it worth the money?

you should not be getting that many crashes and unlike others here i don't see any strong reason to go to 7.2 other than to get to 7.2.1. i very strongly suspect you have dodgy AU's (probably around 218 of them) and if you have a look at your crash log it should show you why you are crashing. if you see an AU in the crash log it is telling you it is causing headaches. my guess is that upgrading is not going to solve your problems.
just so you know, if everything is running as it should be logic will hardly ever crash. post up the crashed thread from your crash log next time it happens. also make sure that you have the proapp kit latest version.
i know its deeply frustrating when things are going pear shaped. everyone but everyone feels that the stupid thing should just work and gets the over-whelming feeling that apple is supposed to make products that just work, that we paid good money for that level reliability and if it's going to act like this we might just as well have stayed with cheaper PC's. reality is, once you start throwing thrid party's into the mix it is really hard to keep control of reliabillity. if you took logic back to zero 3rd party plugs and in built audio, it would take fanatical fundamentalist to crash the thing. (having said that - i reckon i could)

How to join T510 Thin Client to Domain

I need to join my Hp T510 thin client devices to my Windows domain. (I need to place them all in a certain OU in Active Directory). Is this even possible? I have been reading around about this, and I get the feeling that some people have managed to do this, but I don't know how. Any help please? (I have been able to do it with my T520 devices, but the T510s are different).

i have windows 8 DVD and i would like to have a clear instructions on how to install windows 8. I dont understand the need for USB

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You need a USB drive to install the Windows support software. It contains all the drivers that your MacBook Pro needs, and you will have to install them after finishing the Windows installation. If you don't install them, a lot of things won't work: the wireless card, the sound card, the brightness, the trackpad gestures... Apart from that, you don't need it for anything else.
Apple has released the official steps to install Windows 8 on a Mac, so if you want, print this PDF > http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_10.8.pdf

How well do windows work in Intel Macs?

On a scale of 1 to 5, 5 meaning excellent, in your experience how well does windows truly work in your mac? Would you describe it as sufficient, tolerable, wonderful or a waste of time?

I have to take points away, 98% out of 100% for lack of drivers and driver support,
Lack of good fan thermal management.
Otherwise, fine.
The lack of the PC BIOS and use of UEFI instead, which also is what mandates the use of GPT and therefore a "hybred" MBR.
I wish I had a good link to Geekbench for comparison of MacBook Pro models running both Mac OS and Windows, and then there is a section for PC hardware.
You will also see the stray Hackintoush models thrown in as well.
Windows graphic drivers
File system and disk management handling
support for SSD
Windows on those laptops will use the part of the drive platter/tracks that is the slowest, often 60% of what the outer tracks achieve.
Getting games, drivers, audio needs a bit "hand-holding" but then most PCs have their own issues as well. RAM timing, voltage, compatibility, etc. to marry memory + motherboard + BIOS to get everything right.
All depends on the Mac. What you do or use. The quality of the applications etc but that is more "OS" issue than platform + hardware.
My Mac is a workstation and is so easy and similar to a PC mid to full tower EXCEPT it will run warmer due to lack of fan control.
Windows 8 may only be in Preview for now but it is very nice and promising. Some eye candy, but real tweaks under the hood gone in. Could be as much as there was from Vista (cough) to Windows 7. And 8 now in its state is as much or more than Windows 7 RC was, so that is a lot.
I would say "it" is all those things you described. Sometimes all of that on the same mac.
But if you really run Windows primarily which many do, but like the hardware, and the Air is nice and cost is impossible to beat.... might want a true Windows PC laptop. Thunderbolt technology is something Intel has said this month to the PC. Along with PCIe 3.0 and SATA 3 6G. SATA3 had a bumby year on PCs and Apple didn't escape, 2011's have had their problems and why they have refreshed and changed chips and design so many times this year alone. Kudos.
If you want to use SSD, mixed bag. Windows has better support. Apple has not always supported 3rd party and yet been slow (now changed or transitioning). And even Intel SSDs had to have firmware updates for everyone, and once more, to work properly on Mac hardware. Complex little buggers.
Don't generalize. How does CS5.5 run on XYZ? there too depends on RAM, processor/cores speed and efficiency, and type;/number of drives.
How do games play? again, some of them get lost and confused by the Intel 3000 graphics and don't switch to the discreet graphic chip the same or as well.

How will running windows XP affect my Mac?

I am very new to Mac's. When I bought it two weeks ago I learned about bootcamp and how you could run both Windows and OSX, I thought this would be great because I would like to be able to play a favorite game of mine on here. However, when using Windows I have had nothing but viruses. If I used bootcamp to run Windows XP, would I be just as likely to get viruses and crap on my Mac as I would be on any other computer? And if I did get a virus or something, would it be contained to the XP part of the hard drive, or would my whole computer get hit?

Hi DJ Timbo,
running Windows on a Mac is like running Windows on any other computer.
So, after what you have experienced would you run Windows without an Anti-Virus software ?
While the Mac and Mac OSX are immune to Windows viruses due to the different nature of the operating system, it can nonetheless be the source of Windows viruses infiltrating your Windows partition on your Mac, when you use an infected USB pendrive (or a CD/DVD or the internet).

How to install windows 7 in my Mac Mini

Hello Folks,
I am having a Mac Mini (Mid 2010) model. I have Mac OS 10.9 installed. I am trying to install Windows 7 using boot camp. I am getting only 2 options in BootCamp.
1. Download the latest Window Support software from apple.
2. Install Windows 7
I am able to complete step 1 but when I try complete step 2, it always says "The Installer dick could not be found".
I tried with bootable pen drive but I didn't get any success, it says comes up with the same issue. When I try to insert windows 7 installer disc the disc comes out automatically.
I searched over the internet and I found there is one more option which is missing with my Book camp assistance is "create windows 7 install disk". I followed Create Windows install disk option in Lion Bootcamp? this discussion but by doing this I am not able to open boot camp. It get crash. I undo the changes from boot camp's info plist. Now I am able to start Boot Camp Assistant, but not able to install windows. I have ISO file for window 7 too.
Please help me to install windows 7.
Thanks

Unless you have a 2010 Mini Server model, your Mini has a built-in Optical drive (Mac mini (Mid 2010) - Technical Specifications).
Can you read the Windows Installer media when booted on OSX? Your DVD media may be corrupt.
If your Optical Drive is functional AND the Windows DVD is readable in OSX Finder, then your installer should work. You will need a USB2 for BC drivers as well.
