Unable to login as domain admin

[tjacobson]

Hey all,

I recently put some new hard drives in my xserve and installed 10.5 server. I bound the server to AD and set the time server to my AD time server. For some reason I cannot login as my domain administrator. I can login to other AD accounts (such as my own), but I can’t login as the domain admin, it fails no matter what I try. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Tim

Bump, nobody has any ideas?

The best I can do is to suggest you turn on ds debugging, and poke through the log.
Ssh into your server with an admin account and do the following:
sudo killall -USR1 DirectoryService
tail -f /Library/Logs/DirectoryService/DirectoryService.debug.log
Then try to login graphically with the domain admin account and see what comes back.
You can turn off ds debugging the same way you turned it on.

Other things to look at are any static mapping you might have (uid/gid are the likely culprits in the GUI) that might not be set on a specific account.

Good luck.
