OD: 10.5.6, AD: 2003
Ok, FNG here, I will want to write an idiots guide to setting up this Golden Triangle. I will be posting Visio Jpegs to help clear up accuracy and understanding, as well as screenshots.
Assume the following:
DirectoryService:Version:Name:IP
AD:2003:ADC:192.1.1.2
OD:10.5.6:ODC:192.1.1.3
ADC is the current DHCP/DNS/Fileserver/AD for the network.
ODC is configured for OD:Connect to a Directory system
ODC Directory utility has a Valid Bind for AD
Mac clients are standalone 3 user cleints which log in to the ODC on a per user basis no scripting.
Goal:
AD will be the grand repository for all Users & Groups.
ODC will control computer group permissions for all client macs
Mac Clients will login via usernam & password permissions and auto mount the home volume in the AD via the UNC homepath from AD
Mac Clients will be able to be imaged and deployed with all settings ready to go.
Eventual Goal:
Replace 2003 with 2008
What I've accomplished so far:
ADC: Users & groups are production and active
ODC: bound via the Directory Utility to AD
ODC: tested bind via logging in (on the ODC) with Ad administrator user, auto mounted the home vol on desktop.
ODC: tested bind via logging in (on the ODC) with regular user: failed
ODC: Opendirectory under the AdminServices is white not green
MacClient: Not sure whether or not to bind to ODC or ADC
