AD/OD Integration White Paper Question
I have just started reading through the [quote]AD/OD Integration[/quote] whitepaper provided by Joel Rennich on this site and so far find it to be concise well written. However, I do have a question. Unless I am missing something, there seems to be a conflicting statement made on page 5, paragraphs 4 and 5. Although Joel never states that an OD Master ever gets bound to AD (at least at this stage), he seems to suggest it when he writes [quote]One server is installed as an Open Directory master. Under 10.3 this server was best if it was not joined to the Active Directory domain. However, starting with OS X Server X you should have no issues joing the server to AD after making it an OS Master...[/quote]
and then later writes (in paragraph 5)...
[quote]Since your OD Master won't be bound to AD, and thus can't see the AD users itself, you will need to designate a client workstation as the [quote]admin[/quote] workstation...[/quote]
So my question is this: does the OD Master get bound to the AD domain or not? My understanding is that it does not. If not, why was that statement made in paragraph 4.
Thanks.
