Testing of the mock network continues today. So far, we have a "native" Windows 2008 Domain Controller. Connected to this is an eMac running 10.4.11 Server. 2008 box does the authentication, eMac hosts home folders for the pretend users. 10.4 laptop and 10.5 laptop both authenticate and mount a home off the eMac via AFP. Which is good. Forward and reverse DNS lookups work too, which the eMac was whinging about. I believe Folder Redirection for XP machines works too now, so everything works like our current network. Hurrah!
Installed some apps on the 2008 server to mock up what would be on it if it were a Citrix server. Everything appears to work apart from Autograph, a retro maths program which says it's unexpectedly quite when you close it (!).
Bids from the installers have come in today. We have singled out 1 as what we want to go for. Fingers crossed the people what pay will approve such a big spend.
