Just over 8000 Macs under Casper management, another 3000 under OSX Server management. 2000 iPads under Casper management, another 1000 iPads unmanaged. I manage the environment by myself, with help from one other Apple support professional for some of the lower lever support. Our technicians do not work on Macs (which is beyond me), and we use a third party vendor for all warrantee repairs.

Approximately 150 Macs with an expected ramp up in 2014. Compared to the ~55,000 WinXP/7 workstations we have, the Macs are sort of an afterthought for us. However, they are trickling down through the executive bling method.

we're at about 900 macs and mac 10 servers. I'm the only admin, though there is a whole support group to handle the individual tickets from users. We are mostly a wintel environment with approx 60,000 PC's using BigFix. I guess pretty similar to easyedc :)

Oh we also have about 20,000 ipods and about 5000 ipads managed through airwatch, plus whatever corporate provided phones people want, not quite BYOD though.

Since it seems I resurrected this thread by asking where it was, I'll add my two cents...

I solely manage all aspects of Casper for 800 Macs, with 14 Apple DP servers spread across North America. Various numbers of field staff handle end user support.

OK it's an old thread but I'll jump in just for the fun of it.

I manage ~80 Macs and ~300 iPads in a K-12 school environment. I am part of a team of three who manage everything in our network with around 500 PCs running W7/8 and the supporting infrastructure including networking, servers and peripherals such as interactive boards and projectors. I am the go to guy for all things Mac but I am also responsible for our SCCM deployment to PCs including imaging and application deployment. I am involved in all aspects of client facing support for all our infrastructure as well as involved in back end maintenance etc. Basically with just the three of us for everything I have my hands in almost everything, that includes AV support for things like the sound system in our Performing Arts Theatre. :)

Varied is the word.
