ParticipantHello,
we are using Open Directory on a Leopard 10.2 as a primary PDC for mac, linux and windows clients.
The Kerberos sign in works as expected, but we can not get any group created in the OD to be displayed (or selectable) from windows. All users show up, but no groups.Anyone got an ides or the same problem?

I’m assuming you mean 10.5.2, and not 10.2.
The Windows groups have to be created and mapped differently. We have a few articles on this for 10.4, I would assume the method would be the same for 10.5.
Thanks for the reply.
Yes i meant 10.5.2 🙂
Is this what you referring to https://www.afp548.com/article.php?story=200608252114039&query=windows%2Bgroups. If so, isn’t there anyway to create a group in Leopard, say “Application X users”, and map it to Windows?February 19, 2008 at 11:05 am #371566majs
ParticipantAny more info on this would be very appreciated.

ParticipantI am having this exact same problem. I cannot get windows machines to recognize the groups I create in Open Directory on my Leopard 10.5.3 server. OS X computers recognize them, but they do not show up when I try to add them to windows computers who are members of the domain. The OS X server is set up as an SMB PDC, and authentication using the OD LDAP directory works great, but groups are not showing up. I tried some of the commands for adding the SMBRID key to the groups, but that didnt seem to work. This feels like there’s some small missing key/parameter or other attribute to the groups on the server for them to not be recognized in Windows.
The specific steps I’m doing are:
1. Create a group in the LDAP domain, and create a test user account.
2. On the windows machine connected to the domain (and logged in) create a new folder and share it.
3. In the folder’s properties select “Security” and click the “add” button under “Users and Groups”
4. Either search for or enter the newly created test user account, and it shows up to be added.
5. Do the same for the newly created group and…nothing.
