I don't believe it will "log into the domain" so the login scripts are
probably not going to work. There's a good chance the sript wouldn't run on
a MAC even if it tried anyway. But the MAC can function "in general" on the
network.

On a 2003 network the MAC may experience the same problem as with DOS,
Win95, NT4.0 (pre SP3) due the the SMB thing.
