I have a 10.4.3 server that is brand new. We’d like to join it to our AD, share out directories to mac and windows users, have the windows machines authenticate automatically into the xserve, and be able to use AD accounts and groups in the ACL lists for the shares.
So far I have joined the server to the domain, issued the dsconfigad -enablesso command to join the kerberos realm, and verified that I can login to the physical box using my AD account. The role of the windows services is “domain member”. In Workgroup Manager I can see the AD users and groups.
I can also use AFP to mount shares on macs running OSX client. Authentication works fine.
On the windows side, however, I can’t do anything. When I do a \\servername I am prompted for a username and password. No combinations work. The samba log is full of authentication errors.
Looking through the Apple docs they do not explain this configuration at all so I am at a loss as to how to proceed. What do I need to do next?

I did a clean install on the server (again) and had the same problem. I did get the ACLs working. I did not know that in workgroup manager you have to select the root volume and enable ACL support.
I followed Apple’s instructions on joining the AD and enabling kerberos support. When I used a windows machine to access the box it worked… once! After the first time (by working I mean that when you type in \\servername from the run prompt the server’s directories will be displayed within a second or two) authentication was failing.
Either windows services under 10.4.3 sucks rocks, or there is something else wrong. On Wednesday I am calling Apple for resolution since we have a support contract. I’ll post the results here.
November 24, 2005 at 3:18 am #364196mdporterParticipantAnother update. I didn’t call Apple as I found a few posts on Apple’s discussion boards that detailed my exact situation.
My solution was simple… reinstall and leave the system at 10.4.2. Everything now works as it should!
There is obviously something wrong with 10.4.3. I used the exact same setup steps with 10.4.2 and today was very smooth sailing.

it seems loads of people are having the same problems including myself, a little off topic but I was setting up a pure OD server and had loads of issues getting it to work but in one of my last ditch attempts i reinstalled and configured the server with out doing any updates and it worked stright away.
Then I did the software updates and it remained working, i find it odd that if you install the server software and run the updates stright away you can’t get what you want working first thing and when you config it first and then update it stays working. I wonder that the changes are….
Back on track again, I’m going to reinstall my server again and this time do the config before the update and if it works i’m going to kick myself wondering why it is working.
October 19, 2006 at 2:10 pm #367321woodgieParticipantnope it didn’t work for me, I did the following on mytest G5:
Installed OSX 10.4
config AD bind and ran dsconfigad -enablesso as root didn’t work
then logged in as a AD user with admin rights and tried the same command again and still not working.then upgraded to 10.4.2
and still not working.
reinstalling for the 3rd time but this time I’m going to try 10.4 then upgrade to 10.4.2 then configure and see if I can get the same results as yourself
