Provision two new Windows domain users in Active Directory, create a dedicated Mac users organizational unit, set passwords, and verify login on domain-joined Mac systems.
Verify domain credentials by logging into a domain-joined Mac with mac1 and mac2, confirm network managed users with no local admin rights, and illustrate disabling and re-enabling domain accounts.
Demonstrates de-registering a Windows domain user by deleting the account, tests Mac login, shows Mac 1 cannot log in while Mac 2 can, and notes new users can log in.
Explore interoperability between Windows and Mac OS while implementing centralized, strong password policies in a Windows domain to protect user identities and network resources.
Apply and verify Windows domain password policies within an Active Directory environment, review user provisioning in ADUC, and test login on a domain-joined Mac OS device.
Implement and test the network password policy 'user must change the password at the next logon' in a Windows domain, applying it to Mac OS and Windows clients.
Explore how to revert and test password policies across Windows and Mac OS by disabling and verifying domain password restrictions, including the 24-hour rule and minimum age in Active Directory.
Learn how to provision and access a shared drive on the network, enabling cross-platform collaboration between Windows and macOS users.
Provision a network shared folder on a Windows domain controller, assign explicit permissions for Mac 1 and Mac 2, enforce access policies, and verify via UNC path from Mac OS.
Mount and access a Windows shared folder from a domain-joined Mac, verify and enforce Mac 1 and Mac 2 permissions (read and write vs read-only) via SMB sharing and ACLs.
Learn to manage the print service in the Windows network and observe its effects on a domain-joined Mac OS system.
Install the print and document services role on Windows Server 2012 R2, create a shared printer and port, then add the printer to the domain and verify macOS printing.
Test the newly configured printer by sending a Notepad document to the Tetra noodle printer, pausing the Windows print queue, and confirming the test document appears in the queue.
Learn to add a domain-shared network printer on Mac OS, use a generic postscript driver, and verify Windows–Mac interoperability by printing a test page.

Technologies and modern agile practices like cloud computing, DevOps and microservices are encouraging technical teams to pick the right tool for the right job. Rather than be fanatical about a particular platform or operating system, it’s more efficient and cost-effective to embrace all the tools at your disposal.
Typically you will see some files servers or other network servers running Windows Operating system whereas the knowledge workers work with MacOS with productivity applications. These users need to access files and data across the network regardless of which platform it resides on. These users don’t care which platform the files and data are on. They need access.
Do you know what it takes to make these two operating systems work together seamlessly within the same environment?
How does a MacOS user login to the system using their network credentials?
How can Windows and MacOS users share files? Share printers?
These are some of the fundamental problems IT administrators struggle with on a daily basis.
In this course, “Networking: Interoperability between Windows and MacOS”, you will get an in-depth look at how to build bridges between your Windows and MacOS systems.
This course teaches you how to deploy, Configure and manage your heterogeneous environment and implement interoperability mechanisms between your Windows computers and Active directory domains and MacOS PCs. The course will start with basics of interoperability challenges and then move deeper into details about different scenarios like:
How to use network credentials to log in to your MacOS systems?
How to enforce password policies across multiple systems?
How to share hardware resources like shared drives and printers?
These IT skills are in high demand, but there is no easy way to acquire this knowledge. Rather than rely on hit and trial method, this course will provide you with all the information you need to get started with your interoperability requirements.
Start-up’s and technology companies pay big bucks for IT administrators with the talent to set up these elaborate networks. They demand cloud engineers and consultants manage their heterogeneous network infrastructure, and in turn, you can demand top dollar for your abilities.
Do you want the skills to be highly sought after?
Do you want your career to touch cloud 9?
Did you answer, Absolutely to that question?
If so, then our new training program "Networking: Interoperability between Windows and MacOS" is for you.
