Some of that is due to the streamlined process of having a file server inside the same server as your local Active Directory. Initially connected to network file shares on Windows is still much easier in my opinion. It’s much simpler for employees to access documents in OneDrive or Google Drive than it is to activate a VPN, connect to a file share, etc. Connected to a local network when you’re hundreds of miles away from the office requires a VPN connection – which many organizations have stopped using in the age of SaaS products. Network file shares were already on the way out pre-pandemic, but it’s much easier to use cloud storage for file sharing when employees are fully remote or even in a hybrid setting.
The only reason this buggy implementation isn’t a bigger deal externally for Apple is that so many organizations have moved to OneDrive, Google Drive, etc. Through his experience deploying and managing firewalls, switches, a mobile device management system, enterprise grade Wi-Fi, 100s of Macs, and 100s of iPads, Bradley will highlight ways in which Apple IT managers deploy Apple devices, build networks to support them, train users, stories from the trenches of IT management, and ways Apple could improve its products for IT departments. Disconnects plague macOS in the middle of transfers while Windows stays readily connected to the same server.Ībout Apple Work: Bradley Chambers managed an enterprise IT network from 2009 to 2021.
I am not sure if it’s how Apple implemented the protocol, but I’ve talked with countless IT professionals over the past year and everyone comes to the same conclusion: It’s the worst part of using a Mac at work. There’s no nice way to say it: File sharing to Windows Server on macOS is a half-baked solution at best.
