Thanks for the link. The problem is however that per the instructions in the WhitePaper the file server hosting the shares with Applications and Library is a stand alone (OD) and uses AD for authentication. I have a separate server (OD master) that is used to manage the clients.
i tried joining the file server to the OD master and i see the OD domain but i cant authenticate to it. i get an auth failed message when i try to authenticate (OD) in the Network Mount page in WGM.
i dont know if this is related but the KDC is not running on the file server.
thanks
