I have previously added a Mac into a Win network. I done this back in 2001 with Mac OS 9 :)
Basically, I created a shared folder on the Mac and then acitivated the Mac services share file faciilty that was on Windows server at that time (Win Server 2000 I think) and hey presto it worked. The IT staff weren't v.happy to hear that I turned on the Mac services since they found that every shared volume had a Win hidden 0 kb file called 'Icon File' which they could not delete.I also tried the same share method after upgrading to OS X and that also worked the same except there were more features/support with OS X than the old Mac classic OS.
So as long as you have access to the Win server and admin privileges, it should be no probs :)
- And every IT guy's dream is to give the non-IT people admin privileges.killthefish
