We have an AD server to which windows and Mac clients are registered. We are able to push msi package to all connected Windows clients through a GPO policy. We are trying to push Mac package to Mac clients. Can anyone suggest any idea or documents to create GPO for mac clients. Any information is very much appreciable. Thanks
With an third party product it's possible: ADmitMac or PowerBroker Identity Services Open
On a normal mac there is no software that could evaluate a group policy

I am making a windows 8 app for one of our clients. How can i share the app with them so that they can install it on their windows 8 phone and test it.
I tried sharing the xmp file, but when they try to install the app it says "Not a company app". I do have a windows dev company account with me, but not able to figure out how to get the app installed on my clients windows 8 phone.
Please help.
There are a few options to "ad-hoc" distribute your alpha/beta version:
Company app distribution for Windows Phone to read more about this option visit this link
You can publish the app to the Marketplace using the Hide from users browsing or searching the Store so it will be private, only users with a link will be able to access it
you can use the Beta app distribution (i believe there is a limit of few thousand users using a beta version, 10000 maybe? you have to add email addresses of users manually)
Windows Intune for Direct Management of Windows Phone devices. You can "distribute applications to users in either of the following ways: External link or Software installer

I have scoured the Internet and have read it can be fixed...but no one has given me a working fix. I have tried many fixes but still no luck =(.
Anyone know a FUNCTIONING fix for 10.7 and or 10.8
I am using http://www.microsoft.com/mac/remote-desktop-client (the latest version) to connect to Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard. Running RDS with a 5 User CAL. No Active Directory just basic accounts as the local IT team hasn't a clue how to use AD and I am a thousand miles away.
Did you try Thinomenon RDC for Mac? It properly supports redirect token, which could be the problem.
I found these 2 links which seems to have fixed the issue (Hope it's not the same you tried !!!), esp follow vezard & Martijn Huizer's response:

Microsoft has released a new RDP client in the app store. So far It seems to work.
I try to be careful where I download from, and I found this Remote Desktop client option on sourceforge.net - a download site I am familiar with and trust:
http://cord.sourceforge.net
From their site:
CoRD is a Mac OS X remote desktop client for Microsoft Windows computers using the RDP protocol. It's easy to use, fast, and free for anyone to use or modify.
I am using Max OS X 10.7
I have been tasked to come up with a code repository to host our Objective-C code for in-house developed iOS apps. While we do have an existing Microsoft TFS instance, the available solutions to bridge TFS with XCode such as SVNBridge and Team Explorer Everywhere are a bit cumbersome and "hackish" for our requirements.
I'm recommending to use Subversion, but we are mainly a Microsoft house and use Windows authentication/SSO/Kerberos for our authentication requirements. My questions are as follows:
Does SVN support these authentication protocols?
Obviously we need to use Mac OS X/XCode for development - while Mac OS X can support windows domain authentication, how will this work if we need to integrate the authentication with SVN, using SSO?
Thanks in advance!
Doing some further research, I was able to find my own answers and also went further as to create a working proof-of-concept.
Does SVN support these authentication protocols?
From what I learned SVN can support Windows authentication by running SVN within Apache and using the SSPI modules to interact with your windows domain controller. These links were very helpful:
Version Control Using SVN + Apache

Obviously we need to use Mac OS X/XCode for development - while Mac OS X can support windows domain authentication, how will this work if we need to integrate the authentication with SVN, using SSO?
What's not clear to me here is what Xcode uses to authenticate to SVN - the Mac credentials OR the credentials entered when using svn in the command line. One thing i noticed is that Xcode will not work / connect or authenticate with SVN unless you do a checkout in the command line. I'm assuming Xcode uses these credentials in a way. Once a checkout has been performed and Xcode restarted, I am able to connect to my repositories without a hitch. There is also no need to enter the credentials in the username and password fields of your repository in Organizer.
It is important to note that what happens in the client side (Xcode and svn command-line) in terms of authentication is it's still Basic Auth, so your credentials are sent through the wire in clear base64 encoded text. SSL/TLS should be implemented to circumvent this risk.
We have an iMac and our server runs a Microsoft Exchange Server 2003. We can setup the Mail.app to retrieve and send mail but how can we access the public contacts and calendar? We bought Mac Office 2011, but that Outlook only seems to support Microsoft Exchange Server 2007. Any ideas anyone?
Just had this problem. Here is my workaround:
install Davmail Gateway from http://davmail.sourceforge.net
in OS X mail client set up POP account and use localhost as incoming and SMTP server host. get some hint from this page davmail.sourceforge.net/thunderbirdmailsetup.html
you might see error at first time, but continue once you are done with the wizard, go to advanced setting to choose correct port numbers according to the port numbers in Davmail setting pannel.
in OS X calendar client, add CalDev address as stated here davmail.sourceforge.net/osxicalsetup.html
tested on two macbook pro laptops, it should work, good luck!
I'm developing a Java app on the Windows platform, and my application needs to send email. For development/testing purposes, what is an easy and free email server I can run on Windows?
If you're not running the low-end Home edition of Windows then there is a SMTP server built in (Install IIS and components).
But maybe you want a 'fake' server, one that only pretends to forward mail. Look for Dumbster or the .NET port NDumbster
I have had good luck with MailEnable. It's free and fairly easy to set up.
