I don't know if this answers your question or not, either.  We run several
applications off our NT server for the Macs in our lab.  Some of them run
off the server without a problem - just install and go.  Others require
client-side installation, some of it simple, some involved.  I recall one
application in particular which required both Preferences and Keyboard
files to be installed locally on each client, while the database resided on
the server.  And this was AFTER these files had been administratively
installed and configured on a Mac.

In my experience, each application is different, and often the supporting
literature is not very helpful for an NT server installation.  I have spent
a fair amount of time on the phone with tech support for various pieces of
software after initial attempts to install have failed.

I'm pretty happy with NT itself, though.  It does what it says it will do,
for the most part.  Although it's not terribly sophisticated on the Mac
side, it's generally sufficient.
