AD authentication lost every 10 hours.

[glydeen]

I have an Xserve running 10.4.2 and all current patches, I am trying to setup the Xserve to bind to AD for user authentication. I can bind with success and apply an AD group for group permisions. Everything works great for 10 hours (can set your watch by it) and then users can not authenticate and login. Rebooting will not fix, the only thing we have found to work is unbind and rebind the Active Directory services. I am getting frustrated and do not want to give apple a few thousand dollars to open a support call.

I have followed the instruction in the AD-OD document to the letter. I have DNS hosted from the AD controller as well as time sync to this server. I am guessing this is a kerberos issue because of the 10 yr deal but am not sure where to go from here.

Any help would be appretiated.
