I have the frustrating issue with my Xserve (10.3.anything). I have checked, rechecked and had someone else check DNS (on an AD box) and it looks good. Here is the issue.
When a Mac user connects to my share afp, good, AD authentication happens.
When a Mac user connects to my share smb, good.
When a PC users tries to map the share as \\xserve\share$ it prompts for user name and password….if I map it as \\ip address\share$ then it connects the share.
WHY GOD WHY!
