if you’re in like a 4 person company and you don’t know poo poo about janitoring computers and you want to set up some services (wiki, jabber, contacts, ldap, vpn servers) osx server is not the worst thing you could do.

probably none. what small workgroup gives a gently caress about osx-compatible directory services? like, it's just not even a thing for small teams. the last time i saw anyone using osx for directory services it was a boutique law firm that had some schmuck set it up a decade before and no one since had any idea how it worked, so they just kept using the same accounts one each pc as the staff turned over

they're using dropbox or google drive or onedrive for file sharing, usually the latter two in conjunction with a g-suite or office365 hosted email service. the macs themselves are just local sign-on only
