This is not just a problem with the Army... The computer nazis in my
group have non-officially but flatly banned OS X Macs from our
classified networks. Our lead web format person bought a Mac (which
has now been sitting unused for almost two years...) just to do OS X
testing on our classified networks and the IT folks refused to
connect it, even though our site has an approved process for doing
so. Sometimes you just can't win...

It is imperative and urgent that Apple Corp representatives
immediately engage with the senior Army CIO/G6 leadership; and
additionally with DoD.
In consonance with earlier postings to this forum, our DOIM has also
issued the edict that, on connection of our local AD server with the
CONUS Forest, we must, and will, disconnect any and all MAC clients
from the network. According to them, this is mandated by the Regional
CIO by direction from "higher authority"; no waivers are permitted.
This network merger and disconnection is eminent.
That means: 1- recent purchase of equipment, including some yet to
be taken out of boxes is now wasted, and will remain so, until this
policy is rescinded, if ever. 2- Apple Corporation will not be
receiving any additional orders for Apple products. That "effect to
the bottom line" should, I would think, energize Apple senior leaders
enough to action. But, I must say, the dearth of information on this,
or any other forum of which I know, does not give me confidence that
this is so.
