This has gotten WAY off topic.. but as I was the original poster I
wanted to give an update on the resolution to my problem, which was
getting into OWA using a CAC card. I finally was able to get some time
to visit my "on site" location at the Air Force Base and tried to log
into the regular AF network. To my surprise I got an error message
saying that my CAC was Blocked. So as it turns out the problem was
with my CAC and not the Apple hardware. Not sure how my card got
blocked but I am on my way to get the PIN reset and get the Card
working again.
Thanks to all who sent help. I guess I should have taken the time
earlier to try my CAC on an AF system before going down the road I
went.
Thanks

You are so right. Apple's offerings do not scale (up/large) well. This can
be seen in their Workgroup Manager utility when it displays all the user
accounts in a graphical list by default.

Also true. The only way to change is if they start making so much money
selling desktops into enterprise nets in the federal space that they have to
improve. The economics don't support this happening as long as Apple makes
more money on music, iPods, phones, etc that it ever will of the govt. That
leaves third party vendors trying to take up the slack.
