Trying to enable PDC after successful LDAP

[rezwits]

I am using 10.5 server and I get things setup nicely. I have the open directory (LDAP) working. I have remote logins working with accounts stored on the server usable on other computers. But the problem is when I try to enable the server from Workgroup status to PDC. The PDC works and the logins work for windows xp users creating the profiles in the right place etc. But when I try to go on a mac and login using a directory (network) account I get this error “Logging into the account failed because an error occurred” So basically the mac “homes” can’t be logged into, but the windows homes (profiles) can. If I disable the PDC I can get the LDAP working again but thats all. When I enable the PDC the Network browser gets enabled on the left side (Leopard) so the Users location shows up but is undirectable, meaning I can’t link the server.example.com cause it’s to slow or I get that error. I am trying to link via server.local.

I am right in thinking I can have Mac users logging in and Win users loggin in right? Thought so… then how come this isn’t working what am i missing

Thanks
