I'm curious to know if there is anyone here that looks after OSX based networks. I'd really like to hear about some general experiences of what it is like to support, good or bad.

I'm now into my second job supporting windows. I travel about installing new systems and troubleshooting for schools. The networks are always divided into two. One for staff admin, students records and other for use by students and teachers. The systems work but its nothing I'm all that impressed by or proud of.

I've been a Mac user at home now for about a year and a half. Supporting Windows in comparison just feels like a whole load of overhead and time wasted to achieve the same things. I have no experience of Macs in the workplace though, hence my question above.

I've started studying towards the ACSP certification with exam to follow in a few weeks. I'd like to continue on with learning about OSX server with the hope of maybe finding a job based around supporting Macs.
