Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) Server
Pros
- New features like Address Book Server and Mobile Access Server help out both users and administrators
- Home directory syncing is much improved
- Price has been cut in half, and there’s only one version to buy
- Push services for email and iCal, a better server-side email rules UI, and email meeting invitations for iCal server
- Improvements to OS plumbing help services scale much better
Cons
- For non-Apple clients, using iCal and Address Book servers will not be as consistent of an experience due to other platforms lagging Apple’s level of support for CalDAV and CardDAV standards
- For companies with a mix of PPC and Intel servers, upgrades could become complicated due to Mac OS X 10.6 Server being Intel-only
- Limited in-house customization available for Address Book Server services

But right now, using Lion Server is a tad more maddening than it should be. 64 users want this Read more » |
