Here is my problem, we have our macs set up to dual boot OS X and Windows XP. OS X was only ever bound to OD and XP was joined to AD.
I’ve now configured the macs so that users can authenticate via AD when logging into OS X. When I bound the macs to AD it said that there was already a computer record for the machine in AD (Because the XP partition is already bound) and that it would just add the information to the record, so I chose OK.
What it seems to have done is removed the record that the XP partition made when it was joined to the AD domain and created one for itself.
So when we boot into the XP partition users can’t log on because the record is for the OS X binding.
Is there a solution to my problem?
Duh, I’ve figured out how to do it!
When you bind the machine to Active Directory you just give it a different Computer ID than the existing account.
I’ve chosen to suffix the existing computer names with “-OSX” so a new record gets created and leaves the existing record that XP created when it joined the domain!
