[Fed-Talk] RE: Army AD and Macs: Not??



Title: RE: Army AD and Macs: Not??

For those that were following the thread, here's the "official" [published internally] reason why Macs will not be allowed on our local AD network:

Latest Active Directory Compliance Requirements
Abstract: The DOIM has released the latest Active Directory Compliance Requirements.
Please note - no MACs or Linux machines or dual booted systems allowed.

  LINUX & MACS:  will not migrate, and will only be able to talk while NTLM is low. 
(NTLM is an authentication protocol used in various Microsoft network protocol
implementations and supported by the NTLM Security Support Provider
("NTLMSSP"). Originally used for authentication and negotiation of secure DCE/RPC,
NTLM is also used throughout Microsoft's systems as an integrated single sign-on
mechanism.
Currently ATSCNET users are at NTLM level 3 which allows communication with the
MAC clients and Linux. Once we move into the Active directory we will be at Level 5
will doesn't allow communications with Linux or Macs

And

"Dual boot systems will not migrate (to AD)"
