    I’ve extended the Active Directory Schema, but I’m unable to configure policies for the Macs. I’ve tried launching Workgroup manager and connecting to the Active Directory and changing settings. All I get is “Error while saving record “username”: Error -14140″. I’m not sure what I am doing wrong. I’ve searched the Internet for the last two days and all I find is references that Workgroup Manager is able to configure third party LDAP servers. Any links or info to push me in the right direction would be very helpful.

    Ok, I tried connecting as you specified and entering my Domain Admin account info, but still get the same error when trying to save Mac Preferences. I select a user then click on Preferences and then try to configure something like the Dock and when clicking the Apply Now button, I get the error. Is there some step I’m missing? Do I have to associate the new schema classes to the user and group objects or something? Sorry, I’m not an LDAP expert, just know enough to get myself around.

    Thanks,

    I used ADSI edit and extended the schema according to the apple schema on our OS X server (/etc/ldap/apple.ldif I think). I followed a document give at Macworld of the required schema extensions to create the attributes and objects according to the ldiff file. I believe I got all the attributes. I’m not at the office currently, but if you want a list of them I can provide them (there were a lot of them I think about 50 all together). And that is where I am now, attributes and objects created.

    Ok, I will look into ADAM. These are the classes that I’ve added. I did not import every schema in the apple.schema file.

    apple-computer
    apple-computer-list
    apple-configuration
    apple-group
    apple-location
    apple-mount
    apple-neighborhood
    apple-service
    apple-user

    Thanks for the help.

    I just looked in the advanced view of Active Directory Users and computers and under our domain there is now a folder called “Mac OS X” which was not there before the extension. It was created on the same day that I extended the schema so it must be a result of it. The folder is empty and not sure what is supposed to be included in there.

    Thanks,
