AD authentication issue in 10.6.3

Hello all,

Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated. I am running an OS X 10.6.3 server in an AD environment. We modified the AD schema a few years ago and it has worked flawlessly since. Recently, our main OD server died and I installed a new server 10.6.3 to replace it. Our teachers (we work at a school district) are able to authenticate with their AD accounts on their laptops (managed mobile accounts), and their AD account prefs can be managed through Workgroup manager.

However, they have home directories, and are unable to access them because I am unable to authenticate to AD in Server Admin; AD shows up with the LDAP directory in the drop down menu, but when I try to authenticate, I get the message “incorrect username or password,” and am unable to complete the automount process. I have found reports of some people who are having the same problem and that it is a “bug” –

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Tony
