Using a Mac on the Corporate Windows-only Network – A Guide for Macbook Users. These are tips that I have used myself to set up Mac’s in Windows standard infrastructures. I think the key point that many might have problems with is that IT may restrict printers and other things to only computers that have joined the domain. So if you can’t get these suggestions to work, go to the accounts window and ask your IT person to join it to the domain.

iTunes won’t play through Airport…: Apple Support Communities. I agree with Jolly Giant. I have found that turning off IPv6 has solved many strange networking issues and improved performance as well. It is surprising why it is on by default when the majority of their customers do not use it.

This is a nice thing to allow non-admin users the ability to add their own printers. I can see how laptop users and working from home sometimes, this could save a ton of work and cost. Thanks Mike!

This worked for me:

/usr/sbin/dseditgroup -o edit -n /Local/Default -u admin -p -a everyone -t group lpadmin

Be sure to replace “admin” with the username of a local workstation admin account!

.DS_Store — Rixstep Industry Watch. Everything you always wanted to know about .DS_Store files but were afraid to ask. This becomes an issue when you share a fileshare with non Mac users. They view these files that are hidden by default on the Mac.
