I wouldn’t use the word “resolved” but I got around it when I was forced to rebuild the server for another reason. After the rebuild it connected just fine and hasn’t had a problem.

Before rebuild: 10.5.5
After rebuild: 10.5.5

All the same hardware.

Not sure what – if anything – changed!

Yeah, reading the forums there seems to be a pervasive problem with Mac integration with AD that Apple just isn’t addressing adequately!

I’m having almost the exact same problem although I’ve never bound with the server I’m setting up. I’m getting the same error (eDSAuthFailed) in the same place (Directory Utility) as you and I can’t figure it out. To make things more confusing, this isn’t the first or only 10.5.5 server on our network. The others all connected with no difficulty and seem to be working fine.

OK, I can see if there were some configuration gotchas that are mucking things up. But for Apple to be so silent for so long on such an important issue is quite troubling.

Sorry, no answers here. Just another mini-rant!
