Two Active Directory Accounts

[markc01]

Hi I have a user that has two active directory accounts, in different OU’s (they have different user logon names)The problem is that now he wants a mac, so i setup the ad binding in 10.4.11
at the login prompt i type hes logon user name and password.
Then im asked to choose which one of these two accounts , so i select the one i want him to login as.
and it fails.
i have reset the password on both accounts in AD.
the other account i can login fine but not the account i want to, this works fine on the pc.

any ideas

thanks
mark

Probably not the answer you want, but if the user has two AD accounts in the same domain, you want to combine them into one, and give them membership rights that allow the access they need for both.

I doubt somehow the PC resolves correctly two identical names in AD, unless somehow you’ve got the computer and the user nested in specific OUs, and it can resolve that.

I have two accounts in our AD environment (one in each domain) to enable me to bind/manage macs across both domains (that’s an issue with Mac AD implementation), and I know our AD administrator was unhappy with me having two accounts if I could be managed in one…
