Centrify DirectControl by Lance McAndrew, Centrify
Centrify DirectControl for Mac OS X enables IT administrators to add Mac computers to their Windows Active Directory infrastructure to centrally manage the authentication, authorization and configuration of Mac OS X systems as well as to lock down the user’s desktop environment. This enables IT administrators to manage and secure Mac OS X systems using the same tools and processes already in place to manage Windows systems.
Security policies are maintained across all systems through Active Directory Group Policy, for both computer-related security settings as well as end-user specific settings. IT managers can streamline operations and reduce costs by using DirectControl to globally configure Mac systems via Active Directory.
Group Policy
Manage DirectControl configuration and OS X security settings; lock down System Preferences; enforce screensaver locking, and much more.
