AD accounts that have managed prefs set…

[macin1818]

Hello

Ive recently starting doing support in a mixed Mac / PC environment. I purely look after the Mac’s only. The users have AD accounts which all work fine, every Mac is bound to both AD and OD. The OD is on an Xserve running 10.4.11 OS X server which is also bound to AD.

Ive noticed that the AD accounts in WGM have managed preferences set on them. I was led to believe that there should be an OD Group that are populated by the AD accounts, then this OD group should then have managed prefs set. I made an OD group and then went back to the AD accounts and tried turning off the Mobility, Dock and Finder managed prefs. When I click Never and the Save, I get the following message:-

Error while saving record “account name” -14140.

Im assuming there are some kind of managed prefs set on these AD accounts some where on the AD server? As I have no access to the Windows side of things, and one of the PC tech’s I deal with says he thinks it’s a Mac problem, Im not sure what to do?

Any advice would be great

Thanks
Ben
