Like many businesses, the computer environment where I work is mostly Windows-based; however, as more users opt for Macs at home, their desire to use a Mac at work seems to be trending up. There will come a time for many of us IT pros when it might be easier to just give the executive/marketing (etc.) department what it wants, as long as the environment doesn't become unmanageable. ExtremeZ-IP is a product that goes a long way toward filling those management gaps.

It integrates easily with Final Cut Pro HD, Motion and Adobe Photoshop to streamline your production workflow, and offers a professional toolset that lets you produce exceptional DVDs in record time. Dvd studio pro 3.

For this product review, my lab environment consisted of the following: • one domain controller (DC) running Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition • one HP Color LaserJet 2840 (LJ2840) multifunction printer installed on the server • one Mac desktop computer, running Mac OS X 10.5.8 with Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 and OpenOffice 3 • one 100Mbps Ethernet switch For a production environment, ExtremeZ-IP is supported on Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2003, Windows Storage Server, or a Windows-based network access server (NAS). You can also install ExtremeZ-IP on Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP Pro, or Windows XP Embedded-but this is only recommended for test environments. The minimum hardware recommendations are a Pentium 6 processor and 1GB of RAM. After reviewing the ExtremeZ-IP website and documentation, I came up with a series of tests I wanted to use for my evaluation. I started by installing my server. To this, I added a shared folder containing additional folders, some with large movie files and other folders with a couple thousand images. I also installed the LJ2840 on the server.

Next, I installed ExtremeZ-IP's 21-day trial software, which added the service ExtremeZ-IP File and Print for Macintosh, as well as two Apple Filing Protocol (AFP) volumes. (ExtremeZ-IP refers to its AFP shared folders as volumes.) The last step to get my server going was to install Windows Search on the server and add the new folder to the Windows Search indexing list. (ExtremeZ-IP uses the Windows Search indexes for its integration with the Spotlight search tool in OS X.) Installing the ExtremeZ-IP application on the server couldn't be any easier; you just run the download and click Next until it finishes. You might want to bind the Mac to Active Directory (AD) through the Directory Utility, located on the Mac under Applications Utilities. This way, your users will be able to log on with the same AD credentials that they use everywhere else, and you won't have to manage a bunch of local accounts. With ExtremeZ-IP comes an application to simplify access to shared volumes and printers. The application is called Zidget, and you can install it from:8081.
