Our AD usernames have spaces in them. When I log into a Windows machine, I enter "Craig Webster" as my user.
When I try to set up an OS 10.4 client with the AD plug-in, the Mac accepts my username "Craig Webster" at login, but then tries to build home folders based on this user and when I try to open any of them, I get a permissions error.
I tried to change one of the username fields in AD (AD seems to have several) to a name with no spaces, but leave another username field with the space. This way at login I use the name with the space, but my home directories and shortname do not have a space, and the homedirs work. However when I try to get authorization to an AFP 10.4 server, it tells me I have an incorrect user or password. I was able to connect to this same server before I messed with the usernames.
This is driving me crazy. How are other people dealing with this issue?
