Compatibility and network security are important. ADmitMac v4 is the only Mac product that provides full support for Windows’ highest level of security - right out of the box!
ADmitMac v4 allows Macintosh users running Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, or Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard (with the latest updates), to participate in and take advantage of all the directory services provided by Microsoft's Active Directory, NT, and Apple's Workgroup Manager. As a result, administrators can manage their domain users consistently regardless of which operating system they use. ADmitMac allows Macintosh access based on domain credentials and provides support for local or network home folders.
