What is the equivalent software to Active Directory in MAC?

[victvishwa]

Dear Support,

My first post goes here.

Is there any administration tool for MAC OS like we have active directory in Windows platform?

We would basically like to apply Group Policy and manage the clients in a MAC Environment,


Thanks

For an LDAP like directory in OS X, Apple provides OpenDirectory. However, if you are looking to manage Macs in a Microsoft Active Directory environment, you would need something like Likewise Open. This is also available for Linux clients.
