Binding to AD a NO GO

[Anonymous]

I’m a M$ guy, so the Mac world is a new and wonderful place.

Anyway, I’m running 10.4.7 on my pretty new Xserve/Xserve RAID. All is well locally, but I’m having whale of a time getting my system to bind to AD. It fails during the first step and only gives me an ‘Unknow Error.” Can any of you fine folks help me out with some trouble shooting steps.

I’ve added the server name to AD and DNS.

I’m lost…so very lost.

Thanks for the tip to read the white paper. It had a ton of information but it did not address my issue. I found the resolution at http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20060310075328878. For some reason, my xserve would only bind with AD if I left the “computer ou” blank. Can anyone shed some light as to why this is?

I totally rebuilt my AD DNS, I reinstalled osx, I asked for help (usually with the same results that I got here…read the white paper) and finally came upon this. WHAT A RELIEF!!

Hopefully it helps someone else.

Were you entering a valid container in the “Computer OU” field? What error did you see?
