In terms of Dir Integration you have a number of options.
Get all servers to Auth to a single dir server (OD/Mac or AD/Win) or
use a hybrid solution with a Master Dir Server and then Local Dir
server for the other platform (again this can be standard LDAP (aka
OD) or AD/Windows).
This is covers a bit in the Mac OS X Server Doc as well as thru
training offered by Apple, or installation/Professional services if
you just want to contract it out to someone and not have to deal with
it yourself.

Jason,
Yes, it seems somewhat necessary that I will have to get the Macs to
authenticate against AD to share the privileges scheme and authority,
the same as the win users understand.
But I hope that's all that needs to be done. I'm not looking forward
to "extending schemas" or getting some kind of extra Unix
LDAP functionality to work on Windows, besides what AD supports out of
the box.
If Xsan does not support Mac OS X ACLs, then I don't see if supporting
Windows ACLs, right?

Hi Everyone.
I am looking at my first Windows (2003 server) integration into Xsan
using StorNext. This specific Xsan setup is currently running
Panther 10.3.9 (client an server) and Xsan 1.1. Besides RTFM
(the Xsan Admin 1.1 manual) and checking which version of StorNext is
compatible with Xsan, I am curious how the whole users and privileges
thing will play out. The windows users are using AD accounts,
but the Mac ppl are using local accounts (bad, i know!). I might
switch the Mac users to OD or AD accounts and see what happens
(fun!). Any gotchas? Or real world advice from anyone doing this
now?
1- The Mac and Windows systems will need to be bound to a common
directory system.
2- You will need to verify with ADIC StorNext's Windows<->Unix
integration support for your environment.
